George 11nd small Kneehole Desk in Mahogany, English Circa 1745
About the Item
This is a fine original antique kneehole desk or dressing table from the mid-18th century, thought to have the provenance of being part of the estate of Sandford Park, a listed country house in Oxfordshire.
A very useful piece for upstairs or downstairs, originally devised as a dressing table, but very similar to a small chest of drawers but with a central recessed kneehole space, having a small cupboard at the back. It has one long drawer above two pedestal tiers of three small deep graduated drawers. It has the following value points;
Heavy close grained Spanish or Cuban mahogany.
Cock beaded drawers
Original drawer handles
Feature flame mahogany to cupboard door
serpentine bracket feet
Small size and elegant proportions
Two working locks with keys ( which is unusual as most keys usually get lost over the years)
Overall: A very useful, high quality piece that would fit nearly anywhere, even in a small house of flat.

- George 111 Mahogany Chippendale Dining Chair Reupholstered, Circa 1760By Thomas ChippendaleLocated in Lincoln, LincolnshireThis is a superb hardwood walnut or mahogany, Chippendale back, side or dining chair which we date to the mid 18th century, George 111rd period, circa 1760. The chair has a very well carved "Chippendale" back splat consisting of vertical interconnected ribbons with good detail. The top rail has a serpentine crest with central crisply carved detail with an acorn motif and well formed & carved ears with rosettes. The pegged and jointed legs are square with an inside chamfer back and front and the front legs are flute molded to match the side rails, with dovetailed "H" cross-stretchers. It has a drop-in seat which has been newly upholstered and webbed but could easily be upholstered in a fabric of choice. The proportion of this chair is excellent with very good width and a good rake to the backs and rear legs. The hardwood has developed a beautiful mellow colour and patina with age and polishing over the years. Overall a fine quality, English Georgian dining chair.Category
