In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the Edwardian era.
It has with a lovely warm patina and a sloped front with brass shield shaped escutcheon. The doors opens up to reveal a series of racks for holding papers and letters. Above this is a perpetual desk calendar with winding knobs. There is also a pen tray and a pair of glass inkwells with hinged brass tops. Below this there is a large drawer that pulls out.
There are a few small knocks and marks around the outside, general signs of age and use but nothing detrimental. There is a crack across the writing slab in the side door and it does not come with a key but nonetheless it is a nice example.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions at all please ask.
