The Bascule Desk

The Bascule Desk is hand made by Soane's blacksmith at his workshop in the Forest of Dean. The forged iron frame has neat joint details and tucked in 'hoofed' feet. The hand beaten top is skillfully welded together, with panel details and hammered pull handles on the drawers adding to its character. A choice of drop in top is offered, each made by Soane's specialist craftsmen.
