How it works

  • With this Lot you have the chance to own a desk by award winning furniture designer and maker, Andrew Varah, personalised just for you.
     
  • Andrew Varah specialises in designing bespoke furniture - each piece is handmade and unique.  He purchases all the materials and each piece is personally supervised and handled by him.  So naturally, the desk you are bidding for has not been made yet.  Your desk, will be yours - built to your specifications and a one-off.
  • If you have the opportunity to book a visit to the studio - we say: jump at the chance.  It is a treat.  Situated just over an hour out of London in rural Warwickshire, one glance around Andrew Varah's studio shows a life devoted to bringing beautiful furniture to life - furniture that perfectly reflects his clients, their lives, personalities and surroundings.

 
the woods used in the desk pictured here are predominantly maple and myrtle burr
  • No item is too complex for Andrew Varah. His skills include fine marquetry, specialist veneering, carving in solid wood, gilding and the use of glass and metal.  And the desk featured here is a fine example of the beautiful workmanship you can look forward to.
     
  • Sitting on finely tapered legs, the desk top features a complex inlay border and 3 'books'.  Look closely - those books are beautifully crafted from wood and are, in fact, drawers.  And if you are the lucky successful bidder, your choice of titles and authors will be on the spines of those 'book' drawers... perhaps your own initials... or someone else's?

Bid here for a piece of unique furniture to be treasured for your lifetime
and we suspect long, long after.

So don't miss out on this chance!
