Late Victorian Walnut Pedestal Desk, C.1880

A good quality walnut three piece writing desk dating to circa 1880. With a red leatherette writing surface to the rectangular top, three frieze drawers and a further three drawers to each pedestal. All drawers are finished with line carving, original brass Arts & Crafts influenced handles and have locks stamped ‘C & T London’. On plinth bases with concealed castors.

In a warm shade of walnut and finished with a traditional wax, it is in good solid condition and the leatherette has been newly replaced, there is a key for the locks (the top right lock is broken), joins to the top right side have been filled and there has been some veneer loss to the sides that has been filled. This desk has had the back panels polished so could be used freestanding.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
