Item Description
This stunning mid 19th-century Victorian period mahogany and leather top pedestal campaign desk is a masterpiece of design and functionality, featuring a newly tooled leather writing surface and ample storage, making it both a practical and aesthetic addition to any room.
The desk’s design is a celebration of craftsmanship and thoughtful utility. The top, with its newly tooled and embossed brown leather inset, speaks to traditional methods of furniture making, providing a luxurious and durable writing surface. The thumb-moulded edge adds a classic touch, while the desk’s ability to stand freely in a room thanks to its finished all-around design allows for versatile placement. The incredible three quarter brass gallery elevates its visual appeal, making it not just a piece of furniture, but a statement piece.
The rectangular top is fitted with a newly tooled light brown leather inset, framed by a thumb-moulded edge, resting over two pedestals. Each of the eight oak-lined deep drawers is equipped with original brass handles. The pedestals of the desk stands on a plinth base. This desk exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship, with beautifully lined mahogany drawers. The pull-out reading slopes on both sides, also inset with brown tooled leather, add an extra layer of convenience, making it ideal for multitasking. Excellent original condition, having a superb rich colour to the mahogany and the leather. The brass details covering the piece give it the iconic campaign design that is so popular.
In terms of condition, the desk is in excellent original state, boasting a rich patina on both the solid mahogany and leather, which speaks to its quality craftsmanship and the care it has received over the years. The fact that it comes apart into three pieces adds practicality for moving and setting it up in different spaces. England c1850.
