This is another beautiful item, An Original and Genuine Antique American Twin Pedestal & Kneehole Panelled Desk, in Quartersawn Oak, w/ Deep File Drawer, 7 Others Incl Lap Drawer & 2 Pull-Out Writing Tablets, Made by Gunn, w/ Orig Logo, Dating to c.1900..! It is a wonderful desk, and a very old one, see 6 pics above and fully 18 below. Of richly-grained quartersawn oak, it features an extremely useful flat top supported on two pedestals that flank a central arched lap-drawer. The left-hand pedestal houses four drawers, the bottom one being deeper than those above, whilst the right-hand pedestal is home to 2 lockable drawers over the double-depth file drawer. Both pedestals are true-panelled, and the desk retains its original 'GUNN' triangular logo on the bottom of the lap drawer. Both pedestals are complete with pull-out writing tablets at the top, and the drawers all sport wonderful, exqusitely-handcut dovetail joints as one would expect from a maker of the caliber of Gunn. It has the normal marks of age and use, including some beige marks on the outside of one pedestal w something has been spilled, a repair to the lap-drawer back, and the narrow apron above the lap-drawer appears to be an old replacement. It measures 60" wide by 25" deep by 30 1/2" high. It will need to ship as three separate pieces, i.e. top, left-hand pedestal and right-hand pedestal, and it will be supplied with the dozen or so slotted screws needed to secure the top to the pedestals using pre-drilled holes. All that is required is a flat-head screwdriver to put those screws back. !!FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE 48 STATES!! You can rest easy knowing that your goods are fully-insured with DSI.

Be SURE to check out our other auctions!!! 'The Yorkshireman Antiques & Collectibles' always has the esoteric and unusual English items we're renowned for. The one thing we DON'T have is reproduction. EVERYTHING we sell is original and genuine, as anyone who has ever bought from us knows very well. I am English, and my wife and I go to England regularly and buy EVERY item ourselves. We do NOT buy pre-loaded containers. Every item we offer has been found by us, haggled-over and bought by us, carried, wrapped and packed in a container by us and then shipped to the US by us. We control the quality of what we buy and we know the source of EVERY item we sell. Our particular interests lie in Arts and Crafts Mission items and Art Nouveau, though we have everything imaginable, from c.1600 to the 1930s. N.B. Please be aware that ALL the items we sell are at least vintage and often truly antique. Vintage and antique items HAVE flaws, e.g. scratches, marks and wear and tear. We try to describe our items accurately, detailing the flaws we consider worthy of separate mention, but our opinion of condition remains subjective. We do not mislead and include all the information we have regarding an item's condition within the auction listing. Unfortunately, we are not experts, in anything. We are knowledgeable in certain areas, but we are not authorities in any field. Remember, one man's tarnish is another man's patina..! If an item is 80/90/100 years old, it is NOT new and will not LOOK new - but isn't that part of an antique's charm and value..?
