A recently, sympathetically, restored Edwardian partner's desk measuring
72" wide by 48" deep.
It has a glorious rich brown patina with an attractive brown hide
writing surface decorated with gilt tooling. The hide is surrounded
by a 3" band of mahogany with a bull nose moulded edge.
The desk top has 3 drawers either side of its length and each pedestal
has 3 drawers to the front and a cupboard to the reverse. Two of the
smaller drawers have an inset ivorine makers label 'Robson and Sons
Ltd. Newcastle on Tyne'. All the drawers are of traditional dovetail
construction with solid mahogany linings, well figured mahogany fronts,
original brass swan neck handles and working locks.
The desk has attractive raised paneling to both sides of the pedestals
and stands on plinth bases with hidden castors for ease of movement.
As with all pedestal desks, it comes in 3 parts for ease of handling
and transportation.
This is a good quality desk which has had the polish revived and
would bring considerable presence to any traditional office or period
residence.
