A 19th century mahogany kneehole writing desk with a warm, rich colour and attractively figured drawer fronts.
The moulded rectangular top sits above eight drawers, arranged as two wider upper drawers over three graduated drawers to either side of the central kneehole. The drawers feature dovetail joints, cockbeaded edges and decorative brass plate handles. Shaped bracket feet complete the traditional design.
A useful desk for a home office or study, offering plenty of drawer storage within a relatively shallow footprint. Equally suited to use as a dressing table in a country house bedroom.
Condition
Age-related wear throughout, including surface marks, darker marks and indentations to the top, with further wear to the sides and drawer fronts. There are small losses to sections of drawer edging and areas of old repair and loss around the bracket feet. The drawer interiors show staining and signs of use, with a visible split in one drawer base. These details are reflected in its character and overall appearance.
