A very impressive and extremely well made antique mahogany Chippendale style pedestal desk. This is in the famous Chippendale style, it was made in England and dates from the 1900-20’s.
It is of superb quality and is a great size, with a wide knee hole. The inset leather top is gold tooled and has a beautiful patina, the top, middle and lower edges are beautifully carved with intricate beading. The front edges are canted and grooved, high quality brass handles and this sits on claw and ball legs. The back is nicely finished and the top lifts right off, so this can break down into three pieces for ease of transport. The mahogany grain patterns and colour tones are stunning throughout.
We have had this recently polished, the condition is excellent for its age. There is just some minor wear here and there beneath the polish, commensurate for age and all part of the character.
