There is an oak modesty board, with two pullout-writing slides above 4 drawers in each pedestal. The interior has 10 internal drawers with brass finger hooks and 22 internal compartments. The desk features a locking mechanism when the roll-top is closed. The tambour lock and key are in good working order. The top central drawer features a working lock & key. The internal drawers are constructed of sycamore and features adjustable wooden dividers in each drawer. The oak has an excellent tight grain with a wax finish. The desk dismantles into three sections for easy storage or transportation.
The sides of the desk are “S” shaped and have fielded panels allowing the desk to sit freestanding in the centre of a room. The desk is complete with a working lock and key, which operates a secret locking mechanism for the fall and the pedestal drawers.
