Canonbury Antiques has dated this Victorian Oak Writing Desk to the 1860s.
The warm oak displays attractive grain throughout, while the substantial moulded edge lends the piece a reassuring sense of quality
Circa 1860
The frieze is fitted with two generously sized drawers, each richly carved with scrolling foliate motifs and retaining their original brass swan-neck handles
These decorative carvings are complemented by turned supports between the drawers, adding further depth and craftsmanship to the design
Raised on finely turned barley twist legs united by shaped stretchers, the desk embodies the enduring popularity of 17th-century English furniture styles revived during the Victorian period
Offering ample writing space together with useful storage, this versatile desk is equally suited to use as a traditional writing table, library desk or elegant home office centerpiece
Combining decorative carving, quality oak construction and classic proportions, it is a distinguished example of late nineteenth-century English craftsmanship that will complement both period and contemporary interiors
