George IV Period Mahogany Pedestal Partners Desk

18th century

Sold by John Hubbard Antiques

Description

A George IV period mahogany 18-drawer pedestal partners desk. Fabulous quality and condition, the 18 cock-beaded drawers all being beautifully made from quarter sawn oak with exquisite dovetails and original wooden threaded knobs and brass locks stamped GR. Recent quality black hide tooled in gilt.

Circa 1820

Size: 54.1/4" x 36" x 29.3/4" high

Dealers note: There's much to say about this desk - its probably the smallest 18 drawer desk I've ever seen, but despite its unassuming, dare I say, plain design, it's probably as fine a quality desk, inside and out, that one could ever hope to find. Pull out any drawer and examine the back, bottom or sides, and all you will find is a testament to a fine and meticulous craftsman. The inbuilt quality and attention to detail leads one to say that this is the finest example, in terms of condition, that one could ever dream of in a 200-year old desk.
