Antique Early 20th Century Burr Walnut Writing Desk by Wylie & Lochhead Glasgow

A beautiful antique early 20th Century burr walnut writing desk by the respected Scottish maker Wylie & Lochhead Ltd of Glasgow, dating from circa 1920–1930. Renowned for their high quality craftsmanship and elegant period revival furniture, Wylie & Lochhead produced some exceptionally well made pieces during the early 20th Century, and this desk is a wonderful example of their work.

Featuring a beautifully shaped serpentine front, stunning figured burr walnut drawer fronts and elegant cabriole legs, the desk has a wonderfully refined and timeless appearance. The rich warm walnut colour and striking grain patterns give the piece exceptional character and depth, while the decorative brass drop handles complement the design beautifully.

The desk is fitted with a beautifully restored olive green leather writing surface with gilt tooling, creating a classic and highly practical writing area suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Offering excellent storage space through its multiple drawers, the desk remains compact and versatile in size, making it ideal for a study, home office, bedroom or living room.

Presented in very good condition overall, with light age-related wear consistent with age and use, adding to the charm and authenticity of the piece.

This particular desk features an elegant olive green leather writing surface. A second matching desk with a burgundy leather top is also available separately under another listing. Both desks are in equally beautiful condition and may work wonderfully as a pair.
