Description

Superb Quality Antique Victorian Mahogany Pedestal Desk

Dating from around 1870 in the Victorian period this antique pedestal desk is made from mahogany and is of superb quality. It has a rectangular moulded top above a central drawer over the knee hole flanked by two pedestals. Each pedestal contains four graduating drawers displaying turned mahogany knobs and stands on a moulded plinth with castors. The central drawer also contains an old label of a cabinet maker and restorer, "Alderton & Harvey" of Brighton, who we assume is part of the desks history in some way. The piece splits into three sections, for ease of removal, and has aged to a lovely warm medium shade of mahogany with a striking grain, good patina, is in very good condition and has been beautifully cleaned using a traditional form of wax finishing.
