Description

In the antiquarian Revival style associated with the designs of Richard Bridgens for George Bullock and others.

Beautifully executed throughout with satinwood interior and cedar-drawer linings. The hinged pen tray is also black, the desk runs on counter-sunk brass castors.

In good original, unrestored condition. Missing shallow gallery at the top with some fine shrinkage splits to the veneers on the feet and a small vertical gap on the back panel. The leather skiver is probably original and has some losses. There is the odd faint and isolated cup mark.

FAQs

A Davenport desk is a compact form of writing desk featuring a sloping top hinged to open over a set of drawers, originating in the late 18th century and gaining popularity throughout the Regency and Victorian periods.

These desks were traditionally crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, and ebony, often featuring satinwood or maple interior linings and brass hardware.

Authentication involves examining hand-cut dovetail joints in the drawers, secondary timbers used in the carcass, the patina of the wood finish, and period-appropriate brass locks and castors.

Pair the compact writing desk with a minimalist modern chair to create a striking contrast, using it as a functional workspace or a decorative console in a study or living room.

Maintain antique ebony by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying a microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood.
