East India Dutch Company Captains Writing Desk
About the Item
A captivating piece of history, the Dutch East Indian Captain's Writing Desk. This extraordinary early 18th-century Anglo-Indonesian table showcases the artistry of the time, carved from rich rosewood and walnut. The prestigious VOC insignia, symbolizing the Dutch East India Company's global influence, is masterfully carved into both the front and rear waist, connecting you to the maritime legacy of the 18th century. The inset top, adorned with fine bone inlay, adds a touch of elegance. Supported by four barley twist legs and bun feet, this desk stands as a testament to Indonesian craftsmanship circa 1730. A later rosewood stretcher, added around 1830, further enhances its historical journey. Own a piece of the past with this unique writing desk that speaks volumes about the Dutch East India Company's global impact.
