I’ve only ever seen one other in this size before and it was retailing for nearly £8,000 They are very rare, designed to take on campaign so they are usually small and lightweight, this one is full sized and much larger than normal. Later in life it may have been used in a library or study, for today it can be used for exactly the same function, this is the best possible kind of antique, one that looks stylish and sophisticated and still has a function

The leather top has been fully restored and hand dyed, I’ve not seen many with the brass gallery rails to the top, it is a sign of pure class

Condition wise we have deep cleaned, hand condition waxed and hand polished it, it has a genuine period patina which is to say there are marks as you would expect based on age and use

Condition

Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition

Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
