Cooke,s (Finbury) Ltd Claw and Ball Double Pedestal Office Desk
Early 20th century large double pedestal office desk made by Cooke,s (Finbury) Ltd whom was first established in London 1885 and produced quality antique furniture for the home and commercial interiors around the UK.
Could you see yourself sat behind this desk having the huge amount of surface space for all your paperwork and computer.
This desk is a solid piece of furniture and can stand in the middle of a room rather then against a wall. Consisting of 5 drawers, 2 deep drawers for files sitting either side of the kneehole at the bottom, 3 good size drawers for your paperwork and just below the lip are two sliding skivered pullout work tops for extra work space and 8 hand carved claw and ball legs.
This desk came to me in a sorry state, the beautiful hand carved legs needed taking off and refitting some of the original beading was missing so this has been replaced and the original leather skivers had to be removed.
Fully cleaned and sanded before several coats of Linseed Oil was applied to feed and seal the wood internally and on the drawers.
The body of the desk was primed before several coats of Grey was applied and sealed with satin varnish for extra protection.
A new black writing skiver with gold motif was fitted with matching ones on the pullout work tops. The ball on the feet was painted black to tie in with the skivers and the original hardware was cleaned and sprayed gold to match the gold motif.
