Theodore Alexander “Edwardian Gentleman’s Pedestal Desk”

A remarkable example of craftsmanship and design, this Theodore Alexander “Edwardian Gentleman’s Pedestal Desk” (Model 7100‑117BD) is both a statement piece and a functional workhorse. Handcrafted from solid acacia hardwood, the desk features a buffalo‑brown distressed finish and a hand‑tooled leather writing surface with decorative embossing. The interior writing surfaces are also leather-clad, adding to its refined, executive appeal.

The design balances old-world artistry with modern functionality, offering six drawers: three frieze drawers across the top, two utility drawers, and a letter/legal file drawer on the right pedestal. The center drawer converts into a keyboard tray, while the left pedestal includes a locking faux-drawer door with a pull-out surface tray. Integrated power, USB ports, and data connections are discreetly hidden under the desktop, with considerate cable routing at the back.

Built for flexibility, the finished back allows for center-room placement, and its three-piece modular construction ensures easier transport and assembly. Ornamental brass hardware and carved bun feet enhance its traditional Edwardian style.
