Name: An Arts & Crafts Anglo Moorish Desk Attributed to Liberty C 1890
Brand: Antique
SKU: SA849710
Availability: SoldOut

19th century

Sold by Gill Coe Antiques & Interiors

Description

This is a good quality fall front mahogany desk attributed to Liberty. I am sure it is a Liberty piece ('The Medina Desk'), but because it is not signed I have to say 'attributed to'. This desk is of neat proportions and is extremely decorative. The shelf back is inset with mashrabiya panels and fitted with gilt brass runners. The fall flap is above a single drawer and three open arches again in the Anglo Moorish design. When opened the desk reveals a tooled leather writing area and there are pigeon holes and an inkwell. It is in very good condition. A great piece of furniture.

Note: Liberty & Co produced a desk called 'Medina' which can be seen in 'Liberty's Furniture 1875-1915 by Daryl Bennett, page 62.
