Antique English Victorian Oak Partner's Desk
Date: circa 1880 -Reference: SN339
This beautifully coloured large partners
desk is made of solid oak, quarter cut in many areas giving an attractive
lighter flecking contrasting with the rich brown base, known as 'Medullary
Rays'.
The desk has recently been professional
restored and has a new, golden brown, hide writing surface with gilt
and blind tooling, which blends beautifully with the oak. The top
has a bull nosed edge and is fitted with 3 draws on one side and two
central drawers with useful pull out writing slides on either side
supported by hinged 'lopers'. This is an unusual feature for a desk
from this period.
The pedestals are fitted with 3 drawers
on one side and cupboards with a shelf on the other. The bases of
the pedestals are fitted with plinths. The side panels and door are
very attractively marked as mentioned above. The cupboards and drawers
have the original locks and keys with 'Gibbons, Wolverhampton' marked
on them.
The drawers and doors have turned oak
knobs and the drawers are lined in cedar wood with traditional dovetail
construction.
As a partners desk it is of course finished
all round and designed to be freestanding in a room and does not need
to placed against a wall.
The desk is made in 3 parts, the top
and 2 pedestals are all separate parts which enable ease of access
and transportation.
