Recommended Posts

Rare C.1900's solid oak Globe Wernicke desk, originally bought by my great-aunt.

Dimensions 111h x 50d x 87w

Original blotter replaced and there are a couple ink stains on the inside as well as a few chips on the front right of the desk top. The front legs have come away into two pieces but could easily be stuck back in place (as shown in the photo) once in situ. It remains a beautiful piece of furniture however - in professionally refurbed condition you'd pay at least ?1200

Original handles and knobs. The lower storage section retains the patent scissor action mechanism, and there are two drawers, one lockable with the same key as for the top desk. it also has other insert options for dividing up the interior of the desk (pigeon holes)

    • Is this a popular event? If great demand for this sort of event on such a small space then so be it. It is just with Peckham Common so very close by just wondering why this is considered a preferable venue for this kind of thing?
    • Another recommendation for Jason who is brilliant all-round. He plastered our rooms and hallways (some walls were blown and needed re-boarding), replaced two ceilings and over-boarded one. From the start he was always communicative, happy to pop by to assess first, and transparent about the various options and their associated costs. He worked thoroughly, going above and beyond to make sure every job was finished to a high standard and is very fairly priced, particularly considering the hours he puts in. We’re so pleased with the results of our flat and have already recommended him unreservedly to others. Also helps that he is just a sound guy who’s really easy to chat to!
    • Well let’s put it this way - certainly alot more alert when I am in town than I use to be . Don’t feel unsafe just a lot more cautious and aware of my surroundings.  Tend to avoid walking anywhere in town as in London or Dulwich etc when it gets dark. Personal choice and certainly more people muttering or talking to themselves than before. Witnessed road rage years ago on Ladbrook Grove in broad daylight - memory still haunts me!!   
    • Toad rage? Crikey, what have you done to upset the amphibians? How do you find the frogs? 😃
