George III 18th Century 'Plum Pudding' Mahogany Partner's Desk

19th century
Description

A superb George III 18th century 'plum pudding' mahogany partner's desk with an aged green leather top with broken gilt tooling and flanked by a two centimetre high thumbnail moulding that is raised to the sides of the top. To the front of the desk the arrangement of a centre drawer flanking three graduated pedestal drawers is repeated to the reverse of the desk and on the right hand side the desk is fitted with the same drawer arrangement. To the left hand side of the reverse the faux drawers (a door) opens to reveal an adjustable portfolio filing cabinet. The plinth base is unusually veneered and figured with plum pudding mahogany and the desk stands on concealed castors. The desk is in four sections; all the drawers are cock-beaded and oak lined and retain the gilt brass handles. The overall scale is chic and the desk will allow two people to work comfortable at the same time if required. The height of the desk is low compared to later 19th century desks, which is why this desk is rather stylish.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
