Description

A refined late Victorian oak roll top writing desk of compact domestic scale, featuring a tambour-front upper section enclosing a fitted interior of pigeonholes and small drawers above a pull-out writing surface. The desk is raised on slender baton-turned legs terminating in small ball feet, beneath an arrangement of three drawers around a central kneehole, with a pierced gallery to the top.

Constructed in solid oak, with an attractively shaped side profile and subtle Art Nouveau influence, most clearly expressed in the original cast metal drop handles of organic form.

Presented in very good antique condition with a warm, well developed patina and minor surface wear consistent with age and use. Structurally sound, with a smoothly operating tambour and complete with working keys for the roll top and drawers. Clean and ready to place in the home.

English, circa 1890.
