Here is an attractive, good quality and sought after size antique George III style mahogany leather office desk, circa mid to late 20th century. Boasting a block design, the desk features a good quality single panel red and gold-tooled leather insert. Below, the desk sits on rectangular pedestals, which house a bank of graduated drawers. The drawers have cock-beaded fronts with gunmetal swan neck handles and lovely flame mahogany veneer fronts. The drawer linings are dovetailed. The top three drawers feature a working lock and key the other drawers were not designed to have locks. The bottom right hand drawer features a useful partition-filing drawer. The sides and back of the pedestals feature polished panels, which means the desk can be freestanding in the centre of a room (or if you prefer, against a wall). The pedestal exteriors feature decorative panel beading. The desk sits on Georgian style bracket feet. The pedestals, frame and drawer bottoms and sides are constructed of engineered timber with a flame mahogany veneer.
The desk can be dismantled into three sections (top and two pedestals) for easy transportation and access through the narrowest of doorways to its intended location.
This item features a rich dark brown mahogany colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a good colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This desk would look superb in a variety of rooms from the work place to the home office. The desk would certainly grace any home or office and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional. So don’t miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
