A superb antique Victorian burr walnut writing table / desk. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1840-1850 period.The quality is outstanding, this is as fine a writing table of the period as you could find. This has lovely and quite petite proportions with a slight bowed shape to the side edges, the burr walnut grain patterns are gorgeous throughout. There is beautiful carving under the corners, this stands on finely detailed turned legs, there is a gorgeous inset tooled green leather writing surface. The back of the desk is nicely finished so this can be used as a free standing item.The condition is excellent for its age, we have just had this re-polished. There is just some extremely minor wear remaining beneath the polish here and there.At first this writing table looks quite low, however the kneehole height is higher than an average desk.Width – 42 inches , 107 cmDepth – 21.5 inches , 55 cmHeight – 27 inches , 68 cmKnee height – 25 inches ...
