Late 19th Century Kidney Shaped Desk

About the Item

A Fine Quality Late 19th Century Mahogany Kidney Shaped Desk, or Dressing Table, Having Attractive Replacement Tooled Leather Inset Top Over Nine Drawers With Original Brass Handles, Boasting Attractive Inlaid And Banded Decoration Throughout, Raised On Elegant Square Tapering Legs And Original Castors. A fabulously elegant desk, which could also of course be used as a lovely dressing table, which would add elegance, class and sophistication to any room of ones choice. It is constructed from excellent quality mahogany timbers and the drawers are also lined with mahogany which is always a good sign of great quality construction and results in the drawers still opening and closing extremely smoothly. These kidney shaped desks are always extremely popular articles, mainly down to the fact they are just as at home in the corner of a room, or against a wall, as they are stood centrally in the middle of a room. The variety of functions and rooms they can be used in and for also adds greatly to the appeal of course. This desk has an exceptional quality, high grade replacement leather which has elegant tooled decoration and really finishes the piece off nicely. Both the brass handles and the castors are of course original.

  • Rosewood 19th Century Writing Table
    Located in Bedfordshire, GB
    An exceptional quality mid-19th century, William IV Period, rosewood writing table having blind tooled leather inset to crossbanded top, over two drawers with original turned wooden knobs opposed by two false drawers, to extremely elegant shallow frieze, raised on reverse tapered, faceted, end supports with elegant carved scrolling feet and original recessed brass castors. Dating to the William IV period, which of course has a most distinctive style of its own sitting, despite not lasting very long between the late regency and victorian periods of english furniture making, this writing table has a lot of stand out features. Firstly it is a great size. A little bigger than many, indeed big enough to use as a day to day desk for working at, whilst not being overpoweringly large like many earlier georgian writing tables which one may find. It is also of exceptional quality. Clearly constructed in a top workshop it is constructed using high end, decorative rosewood veneers on the outside and a lot of mahogany as secondary timbers on the inside which is a great sign of quality. The entire table oozes class and sophistication in fact from top to bottom. The original turned wooden knobs are a nice feature, as is the high support...
