Condition Report:
This a fine quality antique Queen Anne style desk, with a serpentine design, constructed with lovely figured walnut, incorporating the original brown leather, circa 1930, in good original condition. The walnut desk has been cleaned and French polished by hand, to a professional standard, in our workshop, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. Nominal old use marks to the original leather top (see photo of leather top) and also the leading edges of the walnut desk frame, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The drawer fronts retain the original working brass lever locks (with key) and original pierced brass backplates with swan neck handles. This Queen Anne style desk is well constructed, solid in joint and ready to use.
