Billy Hunt is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.
Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.
Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Splendid Little Oak Art Deco 2 Drawer Table Desk c.1930
This is an impressively designed Art Deco piece likely Gillows or Gomme, we do have a makers design number stamp to the rear and drawers.
We were fortunate to have a similar one a few years ago and we have to say this one is a little better. Its totally Deco - the ball feet, the impressive oak curling bentwood legs, little original chrome stepped handles, flower motifs and the shaped top are all very decorative and the whole piece works tremendously.
As the year closes to an end, this piece is likely to be the best of this year in its category at Billy Hunt. British c.1930

Condition is very good - as mentioned the original handles are in place, the little drawers are running well, one has a few ink stains, we have no splits to the bentwood and the desk is sitting firm and solid. We have carefully re-polished the piece and ensured it is ready to place. Expect the odd mark or two but nothing nasty.
