The central door, which is adorned with satinwood inlay, features the original key and working lock. The two flanked hand dovetailed drawers feature boxwood string inlay to the outer frame. The desk boasts the original green leather. Below the desk there is a compartmentalized writing drawer, which holds inkwells in each corner; this drawer is ideal for storing stationery and letters. All handles on this worktable are original. Further below sits the pull out satinwood inlaid sewing box. Inside, the sewing box is lined with green silk fabric. The exterior of the table boasts profuse satinwood string inlay to the top, front, sides, back and legs. The table sits on four tapering inlaid legs, which terminate on the original brass & mug castors.
This item features a rich dark rosewood colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
