- Fine Chippendale Period Satinwood and Marquetry DeskLocated in Lymington, GBA fine Chippendale-period satinwood and marquetry desk. English, George III period, circa 1770.

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...Category
