Quiet Street Antiques of Bath has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
Whilst the other side of the desk has two cupboards with an adjustable height shelf inside. All drawers and cupboards are lined in mahogany. One drawer is fitted with compartments to keep day-to-day items separated.
Note: Thomas Willson is entered in directories as a furniture broker and appraiser of 68 Great Queen Street between 1821 and 1829. From 1830-37 the Great Queen Street business was continued by his wife Mary Willson & Son. After 1838 it is listed at the same address as 'Matthew Wilson, furniture warehouse, furniture work, upholsterer', until 1854. The stamp to the top of one drawer in this desk is therefore enigmatic, and could relate to either Mary or Matthew Willson, and given that the desk is in an earlier style, could therefore have been produced any time between 1830 and 1854
A practical desk with ample lockable storage and very attractive .
c.1830-1850
