19th Century Figured Walnut Pedestal Desk

About the Item

A Very Good Quality Mid 19th Century Walnut Pedestal Desk, Of Practical Proportions, Having Attractive Gilt Tooled Leather Top, Over Nine Extremely Well Figured Drawers With Mostly Original Turned Wooden Knobs, Raised On Original Plinth Base And Castors.                             This practical desk boasts very attractive and well figured walnut veneers and is excellent quality throughout with the all important drawers still running as smoothly as the day they were made. The turned wooden knob handles are also nearly all original and in good condition which is quite the rarity on this type of desk, as they have nearly always been replaced with some type of brass handle or knob instead. There appears to be 3 replaced knobs on the bottom drawers, but these are not obvious and are very much of the same period and style as the rest of them so they blend in perfectly. The size is a breath of fresh air for those with little available floor space to set up a working from home environment, as it manages to be big enough and offer enough storage for practical day to day working whilst not being too imposing in a room. It is also designed so that it can be positioned either freestanding centrally or against a wall which of course adds even further to its versatility. Georgian and Victorian pedestal desks vary wildly in style, shape, size, finish and quality, this example is certainly high up on the list in that respect. The desk does come into three pieces for ease of transportation as is common for this period and that of course makes it even easier to get into absolutely any location around the home which the purchaser desires. As with all items which we offer for sale this 19th century desk has been attended to in our workshops, by our highly skilled, trained antique furniture restorers and received a traditional wax polish finish to ensure that it is absolutely ready to be placed straight into a home, or office environment. Circa 1860. Height 30in Width 47in. Depth 26in. Kneehole Gap is 24in High by 16.25in Wide.

In general kneehole deeks are regarded as a smaller, more compact version of the more typically found pedestal desk, with some form of an arrangement of drawers around a central set recessed cupboard being the typically found form. There are of course various different designs to be found along the same theme, but as a general rule that is the form you will usually find in a georgian kneehole desk...
