An attractive Victorian golden oak pedestal writing desk with rounded corners and dating to circa 1880. The moulded rounded rectangular top is inset with a brown cloth writing surface and has three frieze drawers below. Each pedestal has a further three drawers and all nine drawers are fitted their original Gothic inspired cast brass handles and stamped ‘VR patent’ secure lever locks. The handles are stamped ‘C&T’ to the underside and have diamond registration marks. This desk has been polished to the reverse so can be used as a freestanding piece.

It comes with a working key.Please feel fre...
