This exquisite kidney-shaped writing table is a superb example of fine 19th-century craftsmanship, blending elegance, refinement, and functionality in a beautifully compact form. Crafted from luxurious rosewood, the table is enriched with striking coromandel crossbanding—a rare and highly prized wood known for its dramatic grain and rich contrast.
The shaped top is fitted with a newly hand-dyed leather writing surface in a warm, antiqued tone, perfectly complementing the deep hues of the surrounding timber. The leather has been expertly tooled with gilt and blind embossing, lending a classic finish.
The table''s form is both graceful and practical, offering a generous yet intimate writing space. Below the top, finely cast brass handles adorn the solid mahogany drawer.
Attention to detail continues through the tapered legs, each beautifully inlaid with delicate marquetry work. The legs terminate in the spade feet with brass castors, allowing for ease of movement.
A perfect addition to a sophisticated study, drawing room, or writing corner, this table is not only a functional desk but also a statement piece—steeped in character and executed to an exceptional standard.
