superb original oak dickens desk

A wonderful original oak Dickens Desk dating from c1880. This example has the characteristic features of twin pedestals, supporting a superstructure top and three separate gold tooled green leather inset writing surfaces. The fixed superstructure to the rear of the top contains eight small drawers, with original brass drop handles , which flank a central turned baluster gallery and shelf. The gallery has twin original brass candle holders. The generous space underneath the hinged writing slope can be accessed by raising the slope in the same way as the hinged lid of a traditional school desk. This reveals a useful storage space and a pair of small twin handled drawers with stationery compartments underneath. All the interior fittings are in oak. The are a total of sixteen functional drawers to the front facing elevation and each has original twin brass drop handles. There is a central dummy drawer in the frieze beneath the writing slope. The desk splits into three parts for transportation and has also retained its original wheeled castors for ease of movement.
