About the Item

This antique Victorian burr walnut pedestal desk is a superb example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, offering timeless elegance and functional design. Made in England circa 1880, the desk features richly figured burr walnut veneers and a tooled green leather writing surface with an aged patina that reflects its authentic heritage.

The desk includes nine hand-dovetailed drawers with original turned wooden knobs, offering excellent storage. Each pedestal stands on a plinth base with original castors, allowing easy movement. The structure is solid and the burr walnut grain is beautifully bookmatched across all surfaces, enhancing its visual charm. Minor age-related wear and character marks are present, as expected from an authentic 19th-century antique.
