It was listed by Tom Scott Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Tom Scott Antiques has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
Very decorative piece being in such vibrant colour tones and the burr walnut too.
The main writing slope has a deep burgundy inset leather and when lifted you have a birds eye maple interior with pigeon holes and two drawers ( note the lefthand side pigeon hole is missing the moulding ).
The righthand side door opens to reveal a set of four drawers, all beautifully dovetailed and with recessed carved drawer pulls. Original lock, but at the moment, I can't get the key to throw the lock, so it is used as the door pull and not locking.
A super quality piece and a great decor piece.
