Antique English Painted Desk

About the Item

England, ca. late 19th century. A charming and perfectly rustic desk right out of a Cotswold cottage. Features sturdy pine construction with waxed top and ochre-painted sides. Five drawers, each finished with simple round knobs, offer generous storage in a relatively compact footprint. Interesting leg detail suggests the height was increased at one point; however, we rather like the clever way this modification was done. Finished on all sides, so can easily float in a room if so desired. Pair with a modern or contemporary chair for a striking contrast. In overall excellent antique condition with pleasing wear. Dimensions: 46.5” wide x 27” deep x 32” high.

Antique English Jacobean Oak Chest
Located in Cambridge, US
England, ca. late 17th century. A fabulous antique Jacobean or Charles II style chest on stand. Features solid oak construction with a planked top with moulded edge above two small and two large geometrically paneled drawers. Cast brass drop handles and escutcheons are most likely replacements but are period and stylistically correct. (This is not uncommon as brasses were often sold or melted down in times of conflict.) Supported by an unusual separate arched base that includes two narrow drawers and turned bun feet. An attractive survivor perfectly suited to a variety of interiors, we were drawn to the piece’s dark finish and dramatic - yet lovely - presence. From the estate of the Cambridge-born explorer, photographer, and mountaineer Henry Bradford Washburn, Jr. (1910-2007), whose family traced their roots back to Mayflower passenger William Brewster...
