Penderyn Antiques has dated this Antique Mahogany Davenport Desk to the Victorian era.
The body is well proportioned, framed by turned columns to the front and raised on small castors. The desk displays particularly attractive, well-figured mahogany throughout, with a rich, warm colour. The interior is fitted with a series of drawers, all neatly constructed and running smoothly. A working lock and key are present for both the top and side cupboard.
To the right-hand side is a cupboard fitted with drawers. Above the cupboard is a secret drawer, opened by removing one of the false interior drawer handles. The concealed drawer is hinged and sits alongside the frame of the davenport when opened. A well-made and practical example.
