A 19th-century mahogany davenport writing desk, of compact proportions and attractive architectural form. The sloping writing surface is fitted with a green leather inset and retains its pierced brass gallery back. 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.
