Carse Antiques has dated this piece to the 1910s.
This large and very impressive desk has been manufactured from the very best mahogany.
The roll top front has been quarter veneered in flame mahogany with carved decoration to the corners. There is a very nice carved moulding to the middle of the desk. The pedestals stand on bracket feet all round. The ends, inner ends and back are all mahogany panelled so the desk could be free standing.
The interior is fitted with drawers, pigeon holes and a central cupboard. There is also a pull out writing section with three leather panels, the middle one is adjustable via a ratchet beneath.
The piece is in exceptionally good condition and is of the very best of quality manufacture. We have provided photographic evidence of its providence, the picture photographed is an original watercolour of the full suite provided by Waring and Gillows with the original sales label on the back which we have also pictured showing the date and the sales person. The picture is not included as the clients the desk was purchased from wish to keep it with the rest of the suite which they still own. The name of Thomas and Wilkie on the label is the firm of Dundee Architects who carried out the work on the office for East Brothers at the time.
SIZE; 54" wide by 31" from front to back by 45" high overall.
