Victorian Golden Oak Pedestal Desk

A good Victorian oak 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 each pedestal has a plinth base with castors below. The top of the desk has a good quality leather writing surface with a tooled edge.

It is a good quality piece and the oak has a lovely warm golden colour. The drawer fronts have chamfered edges and the back of the desk is nicely finished meaning it could be used as a freestanding piece as well as against a wall.

The desk splits into three parts for transport and it is a good large size with comfortable leg room in the kneehole measuring 21" (53cm) wide x 23 1/2" (59.55cm) high.

The desk is in good condition for its age and has been well looked after. It has a lovely patina and a particularly wonderful aged leather. The drawers open smoothly and are generally clean and tidy. There are some signs of age and use, some minor knocks and light surface marks and a couple of chips to the back of the knobs but overall it displays very well. The desk has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
