Another beautiful piece from my private collection.
This desk sat in our front living room for 20 years.
It was actually Donnas computer desk.
Perfect for bookwork storage with a shelved faux-drawer cupboard to the left and three graduated drawers to the right.
The top having two wide drawers, all with later stylish brass-work.
The top is very well faded and patinated mahogany with unusual cherry-wood cross banding flanked by thick pear-wood stringing.
For many years before we owned this desk, the previous English owners must have left in a sun filled bay window, to be so well faded overall.
Yet another piece I’d have happily kept for my apartment, if I had the space.
The deep cross-banded top, with a narrow tunbridge-ware inlaid stringing divider.
Above four graduated deniers, with a deeper matching drawers, having beautifully matched flowing veneers,
with a deeper matching tunbridge-ware stringing and narrow cross-banding.
All retaining the original brass swan-neck handles and escutcheons.
Resting on shaped bracket feet.
Notice the clean lines, with no mouldings between the top and base, so stylish, yet fancy bracket feet.
I love these unusual mixing of styles done in the last third of the 19th century.
The drawers are attractive oak lined.
Also, the top overhangs the back boards about one inch to prevent the large fashionable skirting boards leaving deep spaces between the piece and the wall.
