Mahogany Inlaid Sheraton Style Pedestal Desk

1920 - 1940

Sold by John Hubbard Antiques

Description

A lovely quality and unusual Sheraton style pedestal desk. Satinwood veneered top with black line inlay either side and unusually with ten drawer configuration, with a filing drawer on left hand side. The sides and drawer fronts all with boxwood inlay and satinwood banding.

Huge writing surface with burgundy hide top, gilt and blind embossed showing slight marks but overall, in very good condition.

Size: 60" x 29.1/2" x 32" high (152.5cm x 75cm x 81cm)

Kneehole: 29" high x 22" wide (74cm x 56cm)

Stock no: 4775

Circa 1930

Dealers note: This is a good quality desk and will suit a taller user due to its height and roomy kneehole. The age is, frankly, speculative, certainly 20th century not 19th. I've not seen this model before and it's likely a one off, bespoke for someone that needed a larger than normal desk, as it's about 2" higher than the norm. An excellent opportunity for a basketball player!
