More About This Item:
This massive George III-style partner desk is truly a sight to behold. Reminiscent of legendary Thomas Chippendale designs, this monumental piece, it is more than furniture but a focal point in any office, study, or library – your space will instantly become worthy of a Titan of Industry like J.D. Rockefeller or J.P. Morgan. Each side of the desk features a symmetrical arrangement of seven drawers (two in each pedestal and three frieze drawers across the top), providing ample storage with the functionality expected of a partner desk. The lower drawer of each pedestal is a single deep drawer with an opening that has the appearance of two drawers. The dual-sided design ensures that it can be used collaboratively or as a commanding solo workspace.

This mahogany desk features moulded edges, intricate carvings and high-quality materials, including solid brass pulls. The leather-topped surface offers a durable and elegant workspace, while the ogee feet adorned with an acanthus motif are an ode to classical style.

Don’t fret about moving this large piece of office furniture! Its construction allows for easy transportation and assembly – it separates into three parts: the top and each pedestal.

Georgian Style: Georgian furnitue exudes elegance from the Age of Enlightenment, typically featuring symmetrical design, rich materials, and an adherence to classical detailing and structures. Its timeless appeal makes it a favored choice for traditional interiors.
