Antique Georgian Mahogany Partners Desk - circa 1820
Reference: SN783

This large antique desk measuring 60 inches x 39 inches, was made from beautifully figured mahogany timbers throughout.

The desk has the simple and elegant styling of Georgian furniture which lends itself to any type of interior design be that contemporary or traditional. 

It is in lovely antique condition with a replacement writing leather with blind and gilt tooling which is surrounded by a cross-band of figured mahogany with a ‘bull-nose’ moulded edge.

The top has a replacement black hide writing surface with gilt and blind tooling.
The frieze is fitted with three drawers to the front and three to the reverse. 

All of the drawers are oak lined with hand cut dovetail joints, brass locks (old replacements), cock beaded front edges, and original turned wooded pull knobs.

The pedestals are each fitted with three drawers to one side and cupboards to the reverse and stand on plinth bases with hidden castors. 
As a ‘partners desk’ it accommodates two people, one on either side, with drawers and a cupboard for each or it can be arrange with all drawers to the front and cupboards to the reverse, as in our photos. 

This fine quality late desk would make a stunning centre piece in a traditional or contemporary office or library.
It has recently benefitted from professional cleaning but has required little restoration, only polishing and waxing.

As with all pedestal desks it comes apart in three sections for ease of installation.
