Edwardian Mahogany Pedestal Desk, circa 1915

An attractive early 20th-century mahogany pedestal desk, dating to circa 1915, of elegant proportions and traditional English design. Extra Dimensions : Knee space: 45.5 cm wide × 60 cm high

The rectangular top has been newly fitted with a handsome dark green leather writing surface, beautifully finished with an ornate gilt-tooled border, providing a pleasing contrast to the rich, warm tones of the mahogany.

The desk features nine drawers to the front, comprising three drawers across the top and three graduated drawers to each pedestal, all retaining traditional brass swan-neck handles and decorative keyhole escutcheons.

The reverse has matching top drawers above plain, panelled lower sections, so the desk is attractive when viewed from either side.

Further details include reeded corner pilasters, moulded edges and shaped bracket feet, all contributing to its understated Edwardian character.

A particularly practical desk, combining generous storage with a relatively compact size. Equally suited to a traditional study, library or contemporary home office.
