18th Century Georgian Elm and Fruitwood Kneehole Desk

18th century
Description

A superb 18th Century kneehole desk of small proportions. It has a wonderful colour and we believe it is made from a mixture of elm and fruitwoods. It has an arrangement of 9 drawers around a central cupboard, set back into the kneehole. Unusually, the cupboard is moveable and can be slid forwards to the front of the desk. This is the first desk I've ever seen with this feature.

It is an excellent quality piece with beautiful ogee bracket feet, canted corners and the drawers have their original brass plate handles.

It is in good original condition. The drawers open smoothly and are generally clean and tidy inside. There are signs of age and use, various small knocks and marks and a few old repairs but nothing detrimental or untoward. There are some signs of historic worm which has all been treated as a precaution and hasn't affected the piece structurally or aesthetically. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.

Nationwide delivery available through our network of reliable couriers. Please get in touch for an accurate quote to your location.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
