Antique English Regency Mahogany Kneehole Desk c. 1820

About the Item

This Antique English Regency Mahogany Kneehole Desk, dating back to circa 1820, is a striking example of the elegant and functional furniture of the Regency period. Its rich mahogany veneer has developed a lovely patina over the years, enhancing its warm and inviting presence. The desk features a central kneehole surrounded by eight drawers, each with delicate brass ring pull handles and key escutcheons, showcasing the craftsmanship of its time. The smooth, expansive writing surface is perfect for both everyday use and as a display space. The design of this piece adheres to the clean, refined lines of the Regency style, with a harmonious balance between form and function. The graceful bracket feet, while understated, are quintessential to the period and add a subtle flair to the piece’s overall profile. The desk’s drawers provide ample storage, and the kneehole space offers comfortable access, making it as practical as it is beautiful. The desk’s overall proportions and the quality of the wood and brass details reflect the skillful work of early 19th-century English artisans. While this desk is in wonderful condition for its age, there are some light scratches in the finish on the top, a testament to its long history and use. These minor imperfections only add to the desk’s charm and authenticity, underscoring the natural beauty of its age and materials. This Regency kneehole desk remains a functional and stylish choice for any modern space, offering a refined touch and a piece of history that will continue to impress for years to come. 30h x 33w x 20d knee height 22
