If you mean the resolute desk featured also in the movie 'National Treasure: Book of Secrets' the answer is no. There's only one in the oval office used by the USA presidents. The second one in Buckigham does not exists. Not entirely true. Queen Victoria had a writing table (considered by some to be a desk, though by no means a twin of the desk in the Oval Office) constructed from the HMS Resolute's timbers, which was kept in Buckingham Palace. For the last several years, the desk has been on loan from the Royal Collection to the Royal Navy Museum in Portsmouth, UK.

Who was Malcolm Gilmary he lived during the 1800's?
Been watching National Treasure? He either didn't exist, or was no one of import. He wasn't a Chinese puzzle box builder, and he didn't build the Queen Victoria Desk or the Resolute Desk. The HMS Resolute was decommissioned in 1879, so Gilmary couldn't have built the desk in 1876. The Resolute Desk doesn't have a twin, the Queen Victoria Desk is smaller and has been in the Bedford Whaling Museum in Boston since 1983. It is NOT in Buckingham Palace.
