Victorian Desks

One of the items of furniture that seems to stay constant in its popularity are antique desks.
The Victorian pedestal desk has been superb for not only in a business setting but also in the home.
These desks come into 3 parts and so make them very portable.

If you are contemplating purchasing one,I would recommend that you check how worn the drawer runners are as some are heavily worn due to constant use and therefore do not work well.

In recent times the 5ft wide desk was the most sought after but as the computer becomes so much smaller the 4ft version is now catching up.

If you require a very large Victorian desk then perhaps you should go for a partners desk

These large desks normally are fitted drawers on one side and cupboards and drawers to the rear. They make wonderful work  stations as there is so much space to use and also are very impressive.

At our shop we have a good selection of Antique and Victorian desks, if you care to take a look at our website you will see a good variety. www.hingstons-antiques.co.uk
