If you prefer different colour leather, we can replace it with a colour of your choice. Below, there are three working drawers to the top section. The drawers feature deep cushion fronted panels with geometric mouldings and solid oak drawer linings. The drawers also boast their original oval shaped brass drop handles.
The pedestals feature lovely carved floral moulded hinged door panels, flanked by demi-circle ring turned column supports. Behind these door panels is a bank of three drawers in one pedestal, and a cupboard with two oak shelves in the other pedestal. These cupboards make ideal storage compartments for files. The drawer and cupboard setup is mirrored on both sides of the desk, so that each person has a combination of drawers and cupboards. All pedestal doors retain their original working locks and key. The sides of the desk boast lovely fielded panels with carved mouldings to the upper section.
The pedestals sit on their original square corner reeded plinths and terminate on reeded bun feet. The desk is freestanding which means it can be situated in the centre of the room. The desk can be dismantled into three sections for easy transport. As this is a large desk, it means there is significant storage space available.
