Description

A lovely mahogany pedestal desk of good large proportions dating from the early 20th century. It has an arrangement of 9 drawers around a central kneehole, each with brass drop handles. The top of the desk has a triple section green leather writing surface with a gold tooled edge. The locks are stamped "Bates Makers Wolverhampton" and carry the G.R. Crown stamp which helps to date the desk.

It is a good quality piece of furniture with panelled sides and a tidy well-finished back which allows it to stand in the centre of a room or against a wall. It has no cupboards or drawers on the back but is certainly big enough to be used by two people as a partner's desk. The kneehole measures approximately 27" (69cm) wide x 24" (61cm) high. It does split into 3 parts for transport.

The desk is in good condition for its age and has been well looked after. It has a lovely rich patina and the drawers open well. The inside of the drawers are generally clean and tidy with just some minor ink stains. There are some normal light signs of age and use, some surface marks, knocks around the base and minor old shrinkage splits but nothing detrimental and the leather surface is in good condition. The desk has been cleaned and polished and displays beautifully ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions please ask.
