Description
This is a fine quality mahogany roll top desk from the very late Victorian period complete with the original working lock and escutcheon that is stamped 'The Victoria Desk' 'Warranted Scotch Manufacture'. Absolutely stunning to look at and for the most obvious reasons. The beautiful panelling to all sides is fielded (bevelled) this allows you to use it off the wall. The cast brass handles are all super quality and allow the drawers to pull very smoothly. The tooled leather top was replaced with a new one at the same time the French polish revitalised. The side drawers lock when the tambour is pulled down and the central drawer has it's own working lock and key. The desk has had light restoration in our work shops and would not have been much better the day it was made.
It comes into three main pieces and will go through almost any doorway.
