The rectangular top with its new tooled and embossed burgundy leather, burr walnut cross banding, and double ogee moulding above the cushion shaped apron which continues around the sides and back, thus making the desk free standing.

The drawers fill the entire frieze at the front. The desk stands on 2 pedestals, with burr walnut on all sides and a configuration of 3 drawers with handles the same as the top. The drawers have cock beadings and graduate from top to bottom. Beneath the bottom drawer there is a round moulding and each of the pedestals have 4 bracket feet.
