A good Victorian mahogany pedestal desk dating from the late 19th Century. It has an arrangement of 9 drawers around a central kneehole. Each drawer has turned wooden knobs and the pedestals stand on plinth bases with castors below. It is a good quality piece with a green leather writing surface with a gilt tooled edge.
The desk is in good condition for its age and has a lovely rich patina. The drawers open smoothly and are generally clean and tidy inside with just a couple of old ink stains and minor marks. There are normal signs of age and use, some minor knocks, light surface marks, some minor shrinkage splits and a few old repairs here and there but nothing detrimental. A couple of the knobs also have a few chips but overall the desk displays well. It has been cleaned and gently polished and is ready for use.
