Late 19th Century Sheraton Revival Desk

19th century

Sold by John Hubbard Antiques

Description

A magnificent quality mahogany and inlaid pedestal desk. Of the finest quality, it boasts nine mahogany lined drawers each inlaid with banding, cock beaded with solid ebony, with all original handles, and working 4-lever brass locks by Hobbs & Co, London. I can't believe there's no makers name but it does bear the retailers name of G Rogers, Boscombe who were based by the south coast during the late 19th century.

The top, of inverted breakfront form, now re-lined with a top quality black hide, tooled in gilt and blind embossing to create three separate panels. The top left and right drawers have original adjustable compartments and the whole stands on original castors.

Circa: 1890/1900

Stock no: 4796

Size: 60" (152.5cm) x 34" (86.5cm) x 30.3/4" (78cm) high

Kneehole: 26.1/4" wide x 23.1/2" high

Dealers note: It's hard not to wax lyrical about this desk. The quality and condition is amazing. Just taking a drawer out reveals the magnificent craftsmanship. Faultless dovetails, four lever Hobbs & Co. locks, beautiful original handles, ebony cock-beading and so little wear, despite its 125 years of use, everything is virtually as new. An absolute tribute to the quality of craftsmanship and materials that's rarely matched. For anyone interested, contact me for a Facetime or Whatsapp call show I can show all the marvellous little details that elevate this desk to extraordinary heights. Too many to talk about here!
