A very attractive, good quality, Victorian Mahogany partners desk with unusual decorative paneling. This desk has been recently restored, french polished and is fitted with a black writing surface with gilt tooling.
The writing surface is surrounded by a boarder of figured mahogany with a thumb-moulded edge. As with all pedestal desks it is made in tree sections, a top and two pedestals for ease of movement and installation.
The top has three drawers fitted to the front and two long drawers to the rear. Each pedestal has three drawers fitted to the front and cupboards fitted to the reverse. The drawers are of hand made construction with moulded edges and turned mahogany knobs and there are arched and rectangular moulded panels to the sides. The cupboards also have two corbels to the top of each. The pedestals have plinth bases with hidden castors.
