About the Item
Antiques of London
A magnificent, fully restored military campaign twin pedestal desk, finished to an exceptional standard with a traditional French polished surface and a beautifully hand-dyed brown leather top. This is a restoration where no expense was spared; every element has been meticulously revived using authentic, labour-intensive techniques to bring the desk back to its finest form.
The wood has been French polished by hand, a highly skilled process involving layer upon layer of shellac applied with a polishing pad in circular, flowing motions. This technique produces an extraordinary depth of colour and a rich, glass-like sheen that modern finishes simply cannot replicate. The grain glows through the finish, giving the desk a refined, luxurious presence.
The leather top has been entirely hand-dyed. The dye is applied slowly in multiple thin layers, rubbed and blended by hand to achieve beautiful tonal movement and a warm, organic patina. This is an intensely time-consuming craft that only a handful of workshops still practice, each layer adding depth, character, and individuality. Machine-dyed leather could never offer the same richness or soul.
Every brass fitting, drawer interior, and structural element has been restored with the same uncompromising attention to detail. Nothing was rushed or economised; the goal was to return the desk to its absolute best while honouring its heritage and craftsmanship.
The result is a superb, elegant campaign desk—practical, characterful, and restored to a standard rarely seen today. A true statement piece, ready to be enjoyed for another lifetime.
