Brand: Antique
SKU: SA683227
Availability: SoldOut

19th century

Sold by Tom Scott Antiques

Description

Very good quality rosewood and ebonised large bureau plat desk or would also work very well as a centre table or sofa table too.

There is good height from the floor to the underside of the drawer section for leg room if you were to use this as a desk.

Beautifully made and very elegant with the sweeping stretcher below. There is a full width drawer to one side and a false drawer to the other side. Fully finished both sides, so it can free stand.

The leather top does look possibly original and although has some scratches now, these will all colour down and the leather will be fed and waxed up too. There are some sections of the gilt tooling around the leather which are missing, but again, in my opinion they don't detract and I prefer to keep it as original as possible.

The ebonising to the top moulded edge is also found to some of the lower turned and fluted column legs.

29 3/4” or 75.5cm high
