19th century

Sold by John Hubbard Antiques

Description

An oak and pollard oak pedestal Desk by James Shoolbred, Tottenham Court Road, London.

It’s hard to find words to adequately describe the quality of this desk. The interiors of the drawers are all polished solid mahogany, whist everything visible is of exquisite oak and pollard oak veneers. Everything about this desk screams quality. The high quality brass handles and locks by Hobbs of London are all original, as is the rest of the desk, being completely original with no restoration, or even re-polishing, except for replacing the leather skiver, which has been replaced by ourselves to match the colour and tooling of the original.

Stamped by the maker, James Shoolbred of Tottenham Court Road, London, on all three top drawers.

Dimensions: 52’ wide x 29” deep. Working surface 30” high but overall height 45 ½”. The kneehole is 23” high x 25” wide.

If you have any questions about this piece, just call. We promise that there will be no obligation and no pressure, just a genuine desire to answer your query honestly and accurately. E-mail enquiries also welcome.
