Antique Victorian Mahogany Leather Top Writing Desk

19th century

Sold by Marylebone Antiques

Description

A smart and very well made antique Victorian mahogany leather top writing desk. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1860-1880 period.

The quality is superb, this is a lovely size and is finished on the back, so can be used as a free standing item. It stands on beautifully turned legs terminating in porcelain casters. The drawers have lovely turned mahogany handles and fine, hand cut dovetailed joints. This has a beautiful inset green leather writing surface with tooled edges.

We have had this re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age. There is just some historical wear and patina remaining beneath the polish here and there.
