19th Century Italian Writing Table
About the Item
Early 19th century Italian marquetry writing table with five drawers. Various timbers in the marquetry including kingwood, walnut, box and tulip. This piece has a fairly untouched country house finish and is not repolished. It was bought from a gentleman in Cornwall who had owned it for over 50 years .This writing table is finished on all sides and so can sit free standing in any room . It would be a shame not to show off the back as the boxwood stringing and inlay on the legs is exquisite.
The carcass is made from pine and so are the drawer linings. Note that the construction of the drawers are nailed rather than dovetailed in the English fashion. The tiny brass handles are original and do not interfere with the floral decoration in any way.

- Rosewood 19th Century Writing TableLocated in Bedfordshire, GBAn 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...Category
