Vintage Pedestal Writing Desk with Green Leather Top
This vintage pedestal writing desk has a dark wood case and an inset green leather writing surface with a gilt tooled border. It is fitted with two pedestals, each containing three drawers, with a further two drawers across the top of the desk, giving eight drawers in total. The drawers are finished with swan-neck drop handles, and the case stands on bracket feet. The central kneehole is open, providing legroom for seated use. The desk has a traditional style reminiscent of mid-twentieth-century reproduction furniture.
Condition and Character
The desk shows clear signs of age and use. The surface of the leather is worn, marked and lightly discoloured, with areas of lifting and loss to the tooling. The wood has scuffing, chipping and areas of lost finish, particularly to the top edges and corners. The drawers and handles show general wear consistent with age. The desk retains its original form, pedestals and leather top, which may appeal to collectors of vintage writing furniture or to buyers seeking a characterful piece for restoration or a rustic setting.
