Antique Dutch Marquetry 18th Century Large Freestanding Desk

About the Item

Large, freestanding five-drawer mahogany desk with elaborate marquetry inlay and ball in claw feet. Inlay included exquisite florals, birds, and other embellishments. To appreciate the marquetry, it could take up to approximately 1,000 hours to complete this type of detailed work. This desk was restored approximately 30-50 years ago. We have opted not to restore it due to its beautiful patina and to keep it in as authentic condition as possible, so there are minor pieces missing. It is strong, ready for use and the drawers run smoothly.

  • Early 20th Century Iron Base Work Table
    Located in Round Top, TX
    The appeal of this old work table comes from the aged wood itself, worn and distressed through years of use adding to the character imbedded in the table. Notice the expected age-related separation of the planks of wood that comprise the top, in addition to cracks, stains and heavy gouges. The industrial iron base is solid, allowing this to function as a desk, console, work or craft table. This rustic work table has been restored so is strong, stable and ready for use. ** In light of current affairs and fluctuating fuel prices shipping quotes and timelines are estimates only.
