Rare Antique 19th century Dutch warm honey color classic Cylinder Desk

About the Item

Presented here is a magnificent antique cylinder desk crafted in the heart of the Netherlands during the mid-19th century, around 1850. This meticulously constructed desk was fashioned from the finest available materials, boasting a timeless and classic design. The mark of the master artisan is evident in every aspect, showcasing impeccable construction and extraordinary finishing. Upon opening, the quarter-round flap smoothly ascends, revealing a beautifully green felt-lined writing surface. The writing surface can be extended forward by approximately 12.2 inches, providing a comfortable workspace at the desk." The interior reveals four drawers surrounded by subtle black borders, accompanied by seven pigeonholes and hooks for letters on the sides. Supported by two lower cabinets adorned with elevated diamond-shaped panels and three drawers above, this desk is a true work of art. Remarkably rare and exquisite is the interior of the right-hand drawer, housing a delicate tea caddy. Above the writing area, three drawers are complemented by an intricate lattice of exquisitely turned columns. All drawers and doors of this desk are equipped with functional locks, each accompanied by its respective key. Crafted from the finest European summer oak, the interior of the desk exudes quality craftsmanship. The exterior is crafted from stunning mahogany wood, showcasing exquisite natural grain patterns. Radiating a beautiful warm honey hue with a deep gloss and rich patina, this piece underwent a gentle cleansing in our workshop, where all locks were meticulously inspected, and a protective wax layer was meticulously applied. This desk is of exceptional quality, maintained in an exceptionally pristine state, and is ready for immediate use. Note: The mahogany used on this desk is “Entandrophragma utile” and is NOT restricted by CITES and can be shipped across borders without problems.
