This is a superb quality late Victorian solid oak 4ft 2” wide roll top pedestal desk, circa 1880 to 1900. It boasts four graduated oak lined drawers in each pedestal. The right hand pedestal features a large filing drawer in the bottom drawer of the pedestal. The desk boasts very good quality solid oak fielded panels throughout and features the original oak cup handles to the pedestal and top. On each side of the tambour, there is a posting slot for mail (this allowed people to post mail into the desk while the tambour was locked). There is an oak modesty board, with two pullout-writing slides above 4 drawers in each pedestal. The interior has 10 internal drawers with the original brass finger hooks and 2 pigeonholes. There is a very useful storage area to place a laptop computer under the pigeonholes. The desk features a working locking mechanism when the roll-top is closed. The tambour lock and key are in good smooth working order. The internal drawer linings are constructed of sycamore. The oak has an excellent tight grain with a wax finish. The desk dismantles into sections for easy storage or transportation.

The sides of the desk are “D” 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 the tambour. It is rare to see a roll top desk displaying such quality in an excellent condition.

This desk would look superb in a variety of rooms from the work place to the home office. The desk would certainly grace any home or office and a great investment, as they are an extremely functional. So don't miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of antique furniture.
