Small Rare Early 18th Century English Walnut Kneehole Desk
Located in Lymington, GB
A rare, small, English early-18th century walnut kneehole desk. George II period, circa 1735. This fine Georgian walnut kneehole desk is of a very rare form. The hinged fold-over moulded bachelor’s top is supported on twin lopers, opening to reveal numerous secret fitted drawers and pigeon holes, located within a well. The whole beautifully veneered and crossbanded in fine, well-figured and patinated walnut of superb color, with narrow ebony lines. Original mounts, locks and bracket feet. Graduated, cockbeaded, short drawers surround a central recessed cupboard. All lined in best quality English oak. Nb. This small kneehole was probably made to a special estate order. An additional rarely-encountered feature - probably unique - is a steel lever concealed beneath the kneehole which releases yet another secret compartment within the cupboard recess. Maybe be used as a chic antique dressing table, or compact writing desk...

Exquisite Victorian Hardwood Military Campaign Writing Slope Desk & Later Stand
Located in GB
We are delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning original Antique Victorian Mahogany & Brass Military Campaign writing slope with later stand What a find, if you are in the market for this type of luxury antique militaria then look no further, this is the finest example I have personally seen. The timber patina is glorious, it’s a very old type of mahogany, most likely Cuban. The brass fixtures and fittings all operate perfectly and are flawlessly mounted The stand has been made at a later date to showcase and protect the piece, it is now the size of a normal side table. The writing slope itself has some interesting features, the top can be sat at a 45 degree angle for reading, there is a piece of beaded wood that slots into the two front holes, this holds and seats whatever literature you wish to rest there. The large side drawer is locked in place by a long metal rod, this rod also stops the drawer from coming all the way out. You have two internal document storage sections and various stationary cubby’s. The writing slope is baize lined and on the underside of the base you have a crosshatched silk ripped design which has been studded in place. This is exactly the same as antique LV steamer...

Fine Chippendale Period Satinwood and Marquetry Desk
Located in Lymington, GB
A fine Chippendale-period satinwood and marquetry desk. English, George III period, circa 1770. The considerable use of the best quality mahogany in the carcass is typical of the very fine work of Thomas Chippendale. It is rare today to find an 18th-century satinwood and marquetry-inlaid desk of this quality. (Most offered on the market are 19th/ 20th century). Major, period satinwood pieces have become almost unobtainable. The superbly-controlled and delicate marquetry inlays are reminiscent of the fine decoration on the famous Diana and Minerva Commode by Chippendale at Harewood House...
