£8,800.00

A Rare And Very Good Quality 18th Century Georgian Mahogany Pedestal Partners Desk, Having Attractive Gilt Tooled Old Leather Inset To Crossbanded Top, Over Three Drawers With Old Replacement Brass Handles And Cockbead Panelled Cupboard Doors With Adjustable Sliding Shelves To Each Side, Raised On Original Plinth Base With Recessed Old Castors.

Partners desks dating from the 18th century are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly examples which have survived in such honest, usable condition. Originally designed to allow two people to work opposite one another, they are among the most practical and impressive forms of Georgian office furniture ever produced.

This is a particularly attractive example, constructed in well figured mahogany throughout, retaining a good colour and pleasing surface which has developed naturally over the course of more than 250 years. The old gilt tooled leather writing surface sits particularly well with the desk, whilst the replacement brass handles have clearly been in place for many years and complement the piece extremely well.

As with many Georgian desks, there are signs of honest wear and use which simply reflect the practical purpose for which it was originally made. These should be regarded as part of the desk’s history and character rather than imperfections and only serve to reinforce its authenticity.

Wonderfully practical as well as decorative, the arrangement of drawers and cupboards provides excellent storage, whilst the adjustable sliding shelves housed within each pedestal offer particularly useful and versatile accommodation. Equally at home in a traditional study or a contemporary office, it is the sort of desk which is intended to be used and enjoyed every day.

As with all items which we offer for sale, this Georgian partners desk has been inspected in our workshops by our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers and is ready to be placed into the home immediately.
