A George III mahogany pedestal desk attributed to William Vile.
Note: The desk retains all the original ornate brass handles and the original leather insert on the brushing slide. The leather on the top is a later replacement. The desk does not consist of separate pedestals and top, but is constructed all in one piece.
The continuous plinth on the reverse side was cut at some stage, probably when the kneehole cover panel on the reverse side was removed. Both plinth and cover panel have now been reinstated, using period timbers and veneers.
