Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only, for an accurate quote please send me your postcode
There are around 50-100 high definition super-sized pictures at the bottom of this page
This desk is very rare, a period used piece, each pedestal has three nicely sized drawers, the desk top has one large map drawer which is false fronted to look like it has three drawers.
These desks were made through Army & Navy and retailed in their own stores and Harrods, this is a Harrods London piece, the Harrods pieces don’t have the Army & Navy stamps because they were sold as own brand products not concession
The desk is made from Light mahogany for obvious reasons, being a campaign piece someone or something had to carry it, as you can see it splits into three sections as standard and would have original had custom made to fit cases but they have long since disappeared
There are different locks on the desk, some are stamped “Banks & Rushton 1930” or “Hobbs & Co London” with the serial number stamp 59, this serial number stamp is consistent on most Army & Navy pieces, other locks are stamped “Imperial safe guard with modern improvement”
We have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, there will be normal patina marks all over from genuine age and fair use, please view the pictures, mostly its s a stunning piece of furniture
