Circa 1910, fantastic exhibition quality mahogany and walnut pedestal desk by Whytock & Reid of Edinburgh. The top is concave in shape, has two matching flame walnut panels on each side, and an unusual feature in the centre of a leather top laid out as a chess board. The centre drawer is concave with very stylish handles and profusely carved with a foliate design. The drawers on either side of this are ribbed and beneath these are three further drawers. The drawer liners are all solid mahogany. There are four pilasters on the desk front with the outer ones hinged in the form of a Wellington chest locking device. Beneath the drawers is a simple shaped apron and the whole piece stands on block feet with carved acanthus leaves. On the back on one side the panel is hinged and opens to reveal a shelved cupboard. The back of the desk is polished and has similar style to the front. The whole desk is crossbanded and the gables and inside of the pedestals have similar matching veneers to the top. The piece has probably been commissioned as it is so unusual in style.

Size 75cm high x 116cm wide x 69cm deep.
