About the Item
Important George II Figured Walnut Kneehole Desk
Circa 1730-1740, England
This exceptional piece, attributed to London cabinet maker Giles Grendey, stands as a superb example of fine Georgian craftsmanship.
The quarter veneered caddy moulded top with cross banded and feather banded detailing. Set above a lap moulded brushing slide, one long, oak-lined drawer flanked by six short drawers on either side of a central cupboard, all cross banded, featherbanded, and fitted with the original open fret handles and locks.
A hidden drawer, shaped as a frieze, is cleverly integrated into the centre, adding an element of discreet functionality with a hidden sprung lock. The sides of the desk are equally impressive, veneered in choice cuts of book-matched walnut and paired with gilt brass handles.
Elevated on a crossgrain convex moulding, the desk rests on original bracket feet fitted with roller casters. All hardware and locks remain original.
This George II kneehole desk is a rare and remarkable find, noted for its originality, fine caddy mouldings, open fret hardware, and original roller casters.
