Fine quality early C19th Regency period mahogany 6-drawer ‘partners’ writing or library table.
Double-sided mahogany writing table , each side fitted with 3 mahogany-lined , ‘cock-beaded’ drawers , all retaining their original turned mahogany knob-pull handles and fitted with brass locks and escutcheons. Raised on turned and finely reeded tapering legs fitted with brass socket castors and wheels with unusual fluted detail .
The corners of the table with flame mahogany veneered panel reserves or tablets , having a reeded moulding around the lower edge .
The top with a reeded edge surround . Having a faded blind-tooled leather inset writing surface within the broad mahogany band , which would benefit perhaps from re-colouring or replacing.
