Description

A magnificent Art Deco burr walnut pedestal desk. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1920-30’s.

The quality is outstanding, this is a large and impressive size. There are beautiful burr walnut grain patterns on the top and drawer fronts, the top edges are also cross banded. There is an inset leather writing surface in the centre of the top, this is beautifully finished on all sides, so can be used as a free standing item. The stainless steel handles are also beautifully crafted, they contrast nicely with the walnut.

We have had this stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, the condition is superb throughout for its age.

FAQs

Art Deco emerged in France during the 1910s and flourished internationally throughout the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by sleek geometric shapes, streamlined forms, and luxurious materials.

Desks from this era frequently utilised exotic veneers such as burr walnut, mahogany, and macassar ebony, often paired with contrasting inlay, chrome hardware, and leather writing surfaces.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-accurate construction techniques, such as dovetail jointing in the drawers, high-grade wood veneers with symmetrical grain patterns, and original metal or Bakelite hardware.

Pairing a statement period desk with minimalist contemporary seating and clean lighting allows the rich wood grain and geometric silhouette to serve as a focal point.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent veneer fading, and periodically applying a quality beeswax or furniture polish.
