Description:
Here is a lovely antique English Victorian mahogany & green leather 4ft 5⅞” inverted breakfront pedestal desk, circa 1870, in excellent original condition.

If you prefer a different colour leather, we can replace it with a colour of your choice for an additional £125. The top also retains its original shaped up-stand to the rear, to ensure items kept on the desk cannot fall off the rear of the desk. The desk comprises a pretty shaped breakfront top section with two fixed pedestals. There are 9 graduated working drawers to the front of the desk the drawers residing in the pedestals feature cock beaded fronts and original turned mahogany knobs. The drawers also retain their original brass lever locks with working key. The central drawer, between the pedestals, is a hidden drawer, disguised as a shaped frieze with moulded edge. The drawers are lined with top quality solid ash and constructed with fined hand dovetail joints. The pedestals rest on the original moulded plinths. The desk is designed to reside against a wall. This is a single-piece desk.
This desk features a rich mahogany colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a lovely rich colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and the years of care and cleaning it has received.
This item would look superb in a variety of rooms from the work place to the home office. This item would certainly grace any home and is a great investment as it is extremely functional. So don’t miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of antique furniture.
