Antique Yew Wood Pedestal Desk with Leather Top

Made around 1960 this antique English pedestal desk was constructed with a beautiful yew wood. Yew is a native English wood that has a very mellow color and straight grain that is often complimented with bird's eye like burls. The result is a very pleasing wood. Further complimenting this beautiful wood is the choice of a dark green leather writing surface. Leather makes the perfect writing surface, far superior to wood, metal, or glass. The leather has a border of gold tooling. This desk has eight drawers all of which open and close very smoothly and are constructed with dovetailed joints. The handles are a brass swan neck drop pull which look wonderful against the yew wood. The top three drawers lock with included key. This desk is in very good condition with normal wear that you would expect from a piece of this age in the form of small marks here and there. A beautiful desk, this will make a wonderful addition to any home or office. This desk does separate into three pieces for easier moving.
