About the Item

Royal House Antiques Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this stunning, absolutely massive Estate made desk, Island or pair of Sideboards hand carved in the Thomas Chippendale manor Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote, please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price. This is a complicated piece of furniture, it looks to me that it was one absolutely enormous desk that has had the top cut down to be used as two very large sideboards or as one Island. The quality of the carving is sublime, every single piece of this from the handles to the cuts of timber is exquisite I am selling it as it is in case the new owner would like to use them as two separate sideboards, I can also have a new top made which will be significantly larger and returning the piece to a traditionally shaped pedestal desk Each pedestal has eleven drawers and one slip writing shelf, one open cupboard and one closed, the desk retains all the original handwear, then handles and locks are present but no keys, they can be made by pretty much any locksmith In terms of the condition, we have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, as mentioned the top has been cut down and the join line in the middle isn't a 100% perfect flush fit as it was cut by hand, there will be good honest age and use related patina marks here and there as you would expect, one of the slip shelves has a leather top, the other doesn't Dimensions Height:- 79cm Width:- 139cm Depth:- 69cm each or 138cm total Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask. Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
