Lovely Inlaid, Mahogany Pedestal Desk

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Limited Editions
Description

Is there anyone who could not be impressed by this inlaid mahogany desk from around1900. In lovely clean condition with a top just re French polished in our workshops and the remainder cleaned and rewaxed, so all looks great. The tooled leather is in black so no conflict issues with decor. The handles are all original and very good quality and there is an inlaid gallery at the back with impressive detailing on the finials at each end. The kneehole is a good workable size at 61 cms high. The top is 79cms high with an extra 12 cms for the gallery.

We have an inlaid chair that sits with this desk very well as it has the splay in the leg as does the desk on the pretty little splay brackets on the bottom of the pedestals. All the inlays are in place and the drawers are clean inside and out. A very keen price for all this quality too.

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.

A pedestal desk is characterised by a flat writing surface supported by two vertical columns of drawers with an open central space for seating, originating in 18th-century England.

These pieces usually feature solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, satinwood or boxwood inlay, cast brass drawer handles, and a leather inset writing top.

Authentic period desks showcase hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, natural timber patina, period-correct brass hardware, and original locks or timber lining.

Position the desk as a focal point in a study or home office, paired with contemporary neutral wall colours, modern task lighting, and minimalist desk accessories.

Keep the wood hydrated with natural beeswax polish and clean the leather top with dedicated leather conditioner, avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
