Description

A Sublime Victorian Mahogany Davenport Desk. One of the nicest Davenports we have had the pleasure to offer. Refined elegance in a warm and rich mahogany. A great piece for your home office or study area. These ingenious desks, once forgotten due to the demise of the written letter, are once again rightly gaining admiration. Beautifully crafted and nicely compact yet providing ample storage they can be used with a small PC, Laptop or tablet. They also provide the optimal angle for reading or writing.

Providing six drawers plus a clever swivel pen or brush drawer to its sides. The galleried top above a tooled leather slope. The rising slope reveals a satinwood interior with pigeon holes and drawer. Beautiful fretwork uprights with central bullseye motif. Two keys present for the drawers and writing slope. A good quality desk, ideal for the smaller space and very pleasing on the eye!
