Description

This is an antique writing desk. An English, mahogany and leather side or correspondence table, dating to the Edwardian period, circa 1910.

Wonderfully compact table transforms into an accomplished desk

Displaying a desirable aged patina and in good original order

Select mahogany offers fine grain interest and rich caramel hues

Pleasantly patinated leather skiver in an attractive mint green hue

Pair of articulated leaves enclose this delightful writing desk

Arranged with a pop-up gallery behind the skiver, ink wells and pen tray

Skiver sits upon a hinged lid, offering concealed document storage

Useful letter slides adorn the interior of each leaf

Further period appeal afforded by two useful glass ink wells with silver plated lids

Dressed with an inset circular lock to the front apron — key absent

Dashing shaped aprons to either side add a fascinating profile

Raised upon four slender legs with splayed feet

This is a superb antique writing desk, with usefully compact proportion, but a generous width when in use. With its skiver, ink wells and letter slides, this table is ideal for the occasional missive or correspondence. Solid joints and construction, delivered waxed, polished and ready for the home.
