It was listed by Marylebone Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Marylebone Antiques has dated this piece to the 1880s.
This is very well made and of excellent quality. It sits on a plinth base with concealed casters, and has simple but beautiful solid brass handles.
The leather is hand coloured and gold tooled, we have had this desk completely re-polished, so the condition is excellent for its age.
The drawers are finely dovetailed & all have locks. This desk has loads of character, including the leather writing surface. It’s what I call a good medium size, with a generous kneehole space & plenty of work area.
