About the Item

A Stunning Quality Late 19th Century Burr Walnut Pedestal Desk, Of Rare Small Proportions, Having Attractive Tooled Leather Inset To Crossbanded Top, Over Nine Highly Figured Drawers, With Feather Banded Decoration And Replacement Brass Handles, Raised On Original Plinth Base With Concealed Castors. This desk boasts extremely attractive and exceptionally well figured burr walnut veneers. Put simply the quality throughout is magnificent, with the all important drawers still running as smoothly as the day they were made. The overall feel is of real elegance and sophistication and the materials which have been used in its construction are of the highest quality. The small but practical size is a breath of fresh air for those with little available floor space to set up a working from home environment, yet somehow it still manages to be big enough and offers enough storage for practical day to day working. Georgian and Victorian pedestal desks vary wildly in style, shape, size, finish and quality, but this example is right at the top of the tree in that respect and is one of the very best you will find of it’s type. The burr walnut veneers are absolutely fabulous, so decorative in their design. 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 29.5in Width 42in. Depth 25.5in. Kneehole Gap is 23.5in High by 17.5in 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.
