A Rare 19th Century Birds Eye Maple Partners Desk Of Exceptional Quality With Solid Mahogany Linings & Working Hobbs Locks c. 1860. The desk, which is of the highest quality, is constructed in three pieces: two pedestals to the base and a locating top section. It has nine drawers to one side and three drawers and two cupboards to the reverse. All the locks have been serviced and the leather hide to the top was replaced in 1972. The leather is nicely aged and in perfect condition. Interestingly, in the desk was a receipt for the replacement of the leather, addressed to the Head of Botany, Oxford University.
