Second half 19th century English faded mahogany and cherry banded pedestal desk/centre table.

Another beautiful piece from my private collection.
This desk sat in our front living room for 20 years.
It was actually Donnas computer desk.

Perfect for bookwork storage with a shelved faux-drawer cupboard to the left and three graduated drawers to the right.
The top having two wide drawers, all with later stylish brass-work.

The top is very well faded and patinated mahogany with unusual cherry-wood cross banding flanked by thick pear-wood stringing.

For many years before we owned this desk, the previous English owners must have left in a sun filled bay window, to be so well faded overall.

Yet another piece I’d have happily kept for my apartment, if I had the space.

Never seen anything like this before.
