Stunning Quality 19th-Century Oak Partners Pedestal Desk With Wonderful Colour and Patina

A superb late 19th-century oak partners desk of exceptional quality, retaining its original rich colour and patina. Of generous proportions, it is fitted to one side with five short and one long oak lined drawers and cupboard, and to the reverse with a corresponding arrangement of drawers and cupboards, providing ample and practical storage for both users.
The top retains its original tooled and embossed green leather inset, offering a luxurious and durable writing surface, and is framed by a classic thumb moulded edge. The desk stands on two substantial pedestals, each fitted with fielded sides and raised on a plinth base with concealed castors for ease of movement. All the drawers are fitted with brass swan neck handles and working locks, maintaining a cohesive and elegant design throughout. Finished all round, this desk is designed to stand freely in a room, making it ideal as a statement piece in a study, library or office.
In excellent original condition, with a beautiful, deep patina to both the figured oak and the leather, this impressive partners desk is a wonderful combination of 19th-century craftsmanship, presence and everyday practicality.
