About the Item
A Very Good Quality 18th Century, George III Period, Mahogany Kneehole Desk, Having Well Figured Rectangular Top Over Arrangement Of Drawers, Retaining Original Brass Handles, Surrounding Central Cupboard Door, Raised On Elegant Original Ogee Bracket Feet.
As a general rule kneehole desks like this are a smaller, more compact version of the more typically found pedestal desk, with some form of an arrangement of drawers around a central set recessed cupboard the must popular design and layout. There are of course many different designs to be found along the same theme, but as a general rule this is the typical form of an 18th century kneehole desk.
Although originally designed for the use which the name suggests, as a desk in a spot around the home where perhaps space doesn’t suffice for a full size, formal desk, they can of course be utilised in a whole host of different ways including perhaps in a bedroom, or dressing room, as a dressing table with a dressing table mirror placed atop of them. The recessed cupboard combined with the amount of storage available makes them absolutely perfect for this.
Although typical in form this particular little kneehole desk is constructed from attractive mahogany timbers and retains its original brass handles which isn't always the case with these items. It also boasts extremely attractive and elegant original ogee feet.
As with all items we offer for sale this georgian mahogany kneehole desk has been inspected and attended to in our workshops, by our highly skilled antique furniture restorers, where it has received a traditional, natural wax polish to ensure the condition is absolutely spot on before being offered for sale and therefore it is very much ready for immediate placement within the home.
