    Located in Dorking, GB
    This is the desk on which Dickens began his famous writing career. He was in fact a solicitor’s clerk working from number 1 Raymond Buildings at Grays Inn, London.

It has a hand dovetailed single drawer with turned knob handles. The sloping leather top adjoins a flat galleried shelf...
