English Edwardian Hand Decorated Satinwood Carlton House Desk

About the Item

A most elegant Edwardian satinwood painted Carlton House desk, a piece that is bound to enhance your home. This Edwardian satinwood hand-painted Carlton House desk was made circa 1900. The Edwardian era is known as the age of elegance, this delightful example from that period of time just underlines the phrase. Imagine the original home and the elegant Edwardian lady sitting at this as she wrote her daily diary entries or love letters to her beau, or friends and family who were spread around Great Britain and to all parts of the globe. Carlton House desks were the inspiration of Hepplewhite and the first one was made for the then Prince of Wales (later to become George IV) and named after his Palace Carlton House. This superb example is smaller than the original but is of the same shape and form. It is like a writing table with the U-shaped fitting to the rear, fitted multiple drawers, and bowed cupboards, that open to reveal open storage, as well as the compartments with the serpentine lifting lids. The desk stands on tapering legs and 3 drawers around the kneehole. It is beautifully decorated with delicate hand-painted floral swags and vignettes to the top and to the rear. Imagine the absolute pleasure you will have owning this outstanding piece of Edwardian furniture and how your family and friends will love looking at it. 106cms wide 41 3/4is 61cms deep 24ins 89cms high 35ins Whilst we take care in measuring the sizes can be slightly different.
