Vintage Abbess Solid Oak "Teachers Desk" Coffee Table | Mid-Century Conversion

Description

For sale is a characterful coffee table, converted from an original Abbess Mid-Century Teachers Desk. This is a heavy, high-quality piece crafted from solid oak, offering an industrial, "academic" aesthetic with exceptional storage.

It features the iconic double-pedestal design, sitting low to the ground for the perfect coffee table height.

Storage & Features:
Stationery Slide: A narrow pull-out on the top right with a recessed tray—originally for pens, pencils, etc, now perfect for small items.
Extendable Surface: A flat pull-out on the top left, providing extra space for mugs or a laptop.
Deep Pedestal Drawers: Ample storage on both sides for books, magazines, and clutter.
Solid Oak Build: Extremely sturdy and durable with the original Abbess branding present.

Condition & Character:
As a genuine vintage piece, it has a history. Please note the following:
Top Centre Drawer: The lock mechanism has been removed and there is no key, leaving a clean aesthetic without the risk of accidental locking.
Bottom Right Drawer: One handle is currently loose and the drawer face sits slightly out of alignment with the one above—an easy project for someone handy or left as-is for authentic vintage charm.
General Wear: Beautiful natural patina and minor surface marks consistent with its age and former life in a classroom.

Dimensions (L x D x H): [136cm x 75cm x 49cm]


Collection only from Glasgow (South) due to the weight of the solid oak. Larger car/vehicle required.
