victorian burr walnut desk

This antique Victorian burr walnut pedestal desk is a superb example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, offering timeless elegance and functional design. Made in England circa 1880, the desk features richly figured burr walnut veneers and a tooled green leather writing surface with an aged patina that reflects its authentic heritage. Ideal as a statement piece in a study or home office, this Victorian desk combines decorative appeal with practical use.
The desk includes nine hand-dovetailed drawers with original turned wooden knobs, offering excellent storage. Each pedestal stands on a plinth base with original castors, allowing easy movement. The structure is solid and the burr walnut grain is beautifully bookmatched across all surfaces, enhancing its visual charm. Minor age-related wear and character marks are present, as expected from an authentic 19th-century antique.
This collectible antique writing desk is perfect for antique collectors, interior designers, or those seeking a unique, heritage-rich piece of antique English furniture. An exceptional example of Victorian design and craftsmanship, ready to enhance any period interior or curated office space.
