Large Vintage Desk
Large Vintage Solid Timber desk, thought to be mostly Rimu, ex NZ Public Service, 1550mm wide x 930mm deep, 750mm high.
The sides and back are Rimu panels - thought to be Rimu veneered ply as no exposed edges can be seen. The top is all one piece, again probably Rimu veneered ply, but thicker than side panels.
All edges and corners have solid timber rounded inserts.
Four 530mm deep by 400mm wide, variable height drawers, all made from solid timber (Rimu), with dove-tailed joints, plus a slide out tray at the top.
Ex NZ Government Public Service, probably 1950s, or earlier. We purchased it second hand from Government stores excess stock/disposal around 1990, and stripped the old paint/varnish, sanded and gloss polyurethaned it.
In reasonable condition, some minor dents and scratches - see photos.
This is a large desk, so will need a good sized space to utilise it. Would make an excellent work surface for crafts or similar, although works well as computer work station with plenty of space to add additional screens and spread out papers, books etc for a researcher (as it has been used for last 30 years!)
Must pick up! located in an Auckland CBD apartment, reasonable off street access for collection. (Need a trailer!)

but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
