Description
Vintage solid pine pedestal knee hole office desk from eastern Europe, made sometime in the second half of the 20th century..it's difficult to tell as they just kept making them the same. I've put 1950s but that's just a guess based on wear and construction. Four drawer unit on the left with a cupboard on the right with one (plywood) shelf inside. The two parts are held together with wood stretchers front and back; the top is held on with wooden brackets and screws, so it all comes apart for transport. See condition below Dimensions: 137cm x 70cm x 76cm high

declaration
Barnaby's of Battle has clarified that the Vintage Pine Knee Hole Pedestal Desk (LA542653) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being c.1950s
condition
Condition is pretty good structurally: it's solid enough and the drawers and door work fine. The top is slightly bowed but screws down well enough. Cosmetically there are various marks, scuffs, dings and scratches but nothing too horrid. Left side slightly rough from being stripped maybe. It's been well used but looks nice for it. There's no key for the door lock: looks like it works but we couldn't find one in our box of keys; a locksmith could make you one if needed. Meanwhile we put a magnet catch inside to hold the door shut. This was waxed in the past but most of that has gone; we also stripped the top as it was quite marked, so there's very little finish on this piece. I've opted not to re wax it as it looks fine and you might want to oil or varnish the top. Ask us to wax it if you like; it'll be a bit darker though.
