The desk incorporates a good quality full grain green inset leather with elegant gold tooling border, which is flanked by mahogany banding and a thumb moulded top.

The desk comprises of a top section with two pedestals, all of which incorporate lovely mahogany veneers, on moulded plinth feet. There are 8 graduated working drawers to the front of the desk, with a large filing drawer at the bottom of one pedestal, all of which are decorated with cock-beaded fronts. The drawer linings are mahogany lined and constructed with dovetail joints, incorporating good quality metal swan neck handles with circular escutcheons. The central drawer incorporates a working lever lock and key.
The pedestals are raised on Georgian style plinths and are decorated with fine beading to the outsides of each pedestal. The desk is freestanding which means it can be situated in the centre of the room. The desk can be dismantled into three sections for easy transport and access into the home.
This desk features a warm mahogany colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a lovely mellow colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and the years of care and cleaning it has received.
