Description
This original, vintage piece is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. It has been thoroughly cleaned inside and out, and a natural beeswax polish has been applied to the external wood but otherwise the original finish has been left alone. Both drawers slide with ease, feature dovetail joints and have clean, tidy interiors with light signs of wear. The brass handles are original and securely attached. The top desk section features pigeon holes and the door drops down onto mechanised supports on either side which extend as the door falls. This creates the writing platform / desk. All hinges and mechanisms are in good working order and the top section comes with a working lock and key. As you can appreciate from our photos, the exterior does carry light knocks, scuffs and marks commensurate with its age and purpose. We don’t feel this detracts from its appeal or function in any way but do browse our photos. It’s well put together, solid and stable including when the pull-down desk in place. Sadly there is no maker’s stamp but it’s British in original and dates from the late Victorian / early 20th century period. Questions or wish to view? Just get in touch.
