The desk features a locking mechanism when the roll-top is closed (this also locks the central drawer which is very rare to see). The original lock and key was built by “The Arvon” (which is stamped on the key plate on the front of the desk). The internal drawers are constructed of sycamore. The desk dismantles into three sections for easy storage or transportation.

The sides of the desk are “S” shaped and have moulded panels allowing the desk to sit freestanding in the centre of a room. The desk is complete with the original working key which operates a secret locking mechanism for the fall and all exterior drawers. It is rare to see the central drawer included in the locking mechanism – this is a sign of the quality of this desk.
