Shoolbred Pedestal Desk

A well-proportioned traditional pedestal desk made by JAS Shoolbred constructed in solid Walnut with a rich, warm brown finish and pleasing grain throughout. The desk features a classic rectangular top inset with its original dark blue leather writing surface, finished with a subtle gilt tooled border, showing honest age-related wear consistent with use. Below the top is a long central frieze drawer, flanked by two banks of four graduated drawers, all fitted with decorative brass drop handles. The drawers run smoothly and offer excellent storage, making the desk both practical and substantial. Raised on solid plinth bases, the desk has a strong, architectural presence while retaining elegant proportions. The kneehole provides comfortable legroom, making it ideal for use as a home office desk, study desk, or statement piece in a traditional interior. Overall, a handsome and functional desk with good colour, character, and timeless appeal — the sort of desk that makes you feel productive just by sitting at it. Please note that 2 locks are missing.
