How to sell

A REGENCY MAHOGANY PEDESTAL DESK
EARLY 19TH CENTURY
The top with later gilt-tooled inset writing surface, above a frieze drawer, flanked to either side by four graduated drawers with opposing drawers and cupboard doors, on a moulded plinth base and later castors, stamped 'BO TRADE' with a crown over 'W R IV'
30 ¾ in. (78 cm.) high; 53 ½ in. (136 cm.) wide; 34 ¼ in. (87 cm.) deep

Specialist note

The 'BO TRADE' stamp probably represents the 'Board of Trade'. Following the fire at the Houses of Parliament in 1834, the furniture was subsequently branded with the government body to whom it belonged together with the cypher of the reigning monarch, in this case William IV.
