A beautiful Chinese Chippendale-style mahogany kneehole desk with a serpentine front and shaped bracket feet. Featuring blind fretwork carving to the canted corners, ornate pierced handles with rams masks and beautifully chosen flame mahogany veneers. This is a good quality example with oak drawer linings and locks to each drawer.
This is a nice size and the drawers are large enough to take A4 papers. It is in good condition, there are some scratches & marks in the polish across the central drawer and minor ink marks inside, there is no key for the locks although a locksmith should be able to cut one.
Width - 47 1/4” (120cm)
Depth - 21 1/2” (55cm)
Height - 31 3/4” (80.5cm)
This is a ‘one piece’ desk and does not dismantle for moving.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits,
...signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.
For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
