Description

The Tuppeny desk is a lovely piece by Fork Handle Revival.

This is the first of many pieces of furniture being saved from the historic Southampton law firm Abels that we are “Reviving”.

This is a late 1800s oak desk that we have “Revived”.

The desk was stripped cleaned, rebonded and gently rubbed back to retain its patina.  Ink stains and graffiti have been kept and a deep rich wax applied to give a very tactile finish.

While being an antique its is a practical piece as it has good width of over a meter but isnt too deep and imposing on modern homes with limited space.  It would be ideal for a lap top or crafting.

The two drawers operate freely and the tear drop pulls have had 4 half penny coins used as backing plates which is where we got the name of the Tuppenny Desk from.

This is a well restored piece with lots of character and charm.

Local delivery is available or we are happy to work with your couriers or agents such as Shipley.

On display in our “shop shop” at Robins Nest from Sunday 20th July.
