A lovely mahogany pedestal desk dating from the late 19th Century. It has an arrangement of 9 drawers around a central kneehole. Each drawer has brass swan neck handles which, although are not original, suit the piece well. Each pedestal has a plinth base and castors below. The top of the desk has a good quality green leather writing surface with a gold tooled edge. It also comes with a working key for the top three drawers.
The desk is in good condition for its age and has been well looked after. It has a lovely rich patina and the drawers open well. The inside of the drawers are generally clean and tidy with just some minor ink stains. There are some normal signs of age and use, some minor knocks and light surface marks but nothing detrimental and the leather surface is in good condition. The desk has been cleaned and polished and displays beautifully ready for use.
