Dimensions: 66" x 30.5" x 36" (WxHxD)

This magnificent traditional desk is finished on all sides so can be placed in the middle of the room or anywhere to display this showpiece.  It has just the right amount of molding so as to have a vintage yet modern stately look.   Please note the corner panels are angled and grooved adding elegance. This vintage grand executive-style, office desk has an attractive mahogany finish with a boxy, campaign style and a grand and magnificent silhouette.  

The desk has an extra large executive size surface with a total of eight drawers with several solid wood movable wood dividers for each drawer.  All of the drawers feature old fashioned craftsmanship with finely crafted dovetail joints that interlock to form a flat edge at the corners and sides thus eliminating the need for nails or screws.  

The right hand side is a double drawer deep enough for hanging files.  Not sure if this is original to the piece but it appears that at some point,  a metal attachment with a sliding rail for organizing manila folders was added to the bottom of the drawer.  This can be easily removed if you prefer to use a metal cage for the file drawer instead.  Please note there are two additional pullout dictation sliding surfaces at the top of each pedestal as shown in the photos. 

Please note that these types of highly crafted desks executed by master carpenters are not made this way anymore.  Drexel Heritage has a long history of making fine furniture that is hand finished and lasts for generations. Drexel's attention to detail makes their furniture the finest available.  Drexel Heritage is sold only in the finest furniture stores and design studios in the country.  It is a quintessential American brand established in 1903.  

Please note the grain and coloring of the wood - like a tiger flame striped wood.  Please share if you know the name of the wood type. Not sure if this is mahogany or maple. 

This piece is pre-owned and being sold as is, and as might be expected due to its age and use, has scratches, blemishes, knicks, gashes or scruff marks and is being sold as is.  This item will benefit from an overall clean-up, polishing, touch up in some spots and replacement of molding where worn or missing.   It may also be missing a piece of molding on the bottom frontspiece and/or some of the drawer dividers which may have happened after these photos were taken and during transit of desk to storage.   In spite of its defects and vintage wear, it is a splendid and majestic piece whose beauty can be further enhanced or used as is.  Please ask if you have any additional questions.

This item is wrapped in cellophane and in storage and will ship from zip code 95660.  There is a 20 day handling-time time on this item but if you need sooner, please message us BEFORE purchase.
