About the Item
Antiques of London
We are delighted to offer for sale this Fully Restored Bevan Funnell Military Campaign Twin Pedestal Desk.
It is a stunning example of classic design and meticulous craftsmanship. It's a piece that speaks of both functionality and timeless elegance, meticulously brought back to its former glory.
The desk itself embodies the iconic military campaign style, known for its portability and robust construction. Imagine a desk crafted from rich, dark wood with clean lines and brass hardware, including recessed handles and corner protectors. These features were originally designed to protect the desk during transport on military campaigns, lending it a distinctive character.
The twin pedestal design provides ample storage with multiple drawers on each side, offering plenty of space for documents and office supplies.
At the heart of this restoration is the whiskey brown leather writing surface. This isn't just any leather; it's been hand-dyed by a specialist using traditional antique methods. This painstaking process ensures a deep, rich colour that showcases the leather's natural grain and character. The hand-dyeing technique creates subtle variations and nuances in the colour, giving the leather a unique patina that can't be replicated by modern methods.
Adding to the desk's exquisite finish is the fact that the wood has been French polished. This time-honoured technique involves applying multiple thin layers of shellac with a rubbing pad, creating a lustrous, mirror-like sheen that enhances the wood's natural beauty. The French polish not only protects the wood but also brings out its depth and grain, giving it a warmth and richness that is simply unmatched.
It's a statement piece that would add sophistication and character to any home office or study, a testament to the enduring appeal of classic design and the artistry of skilled restoration. The hand-dyed leather writing surface, with its unique patina and tactile feel, and the flawlessly French-polished wood are the crowning touches, elevating this desk to a true heirloom piece.
