Antique Walnut Secretaire Ladies Desk by Pioneer of Liverpool w. Inlaid Shell

About the Item

Practical small desk with a built-in chest of drawers. Because of the large homes that many of the rich who could afford quality furniture lived in, many antique pieces of furniture are relatively large. Since that is not always practical in this day and age, we tend to focus more on buying the rarer, smaller and more practical pieces. This elegant, small size, patinated nutwood ladies desk fits that bill exactly. For it to have been made and marked by a quality furniture maker from Liverpool, England is a bonus. This light-color secretaire with its stunning, inlaid nautilus shell motif and marquetry banding around the top, around the lid AND around all drawers is both delightful and practical. You can comfortably sit at it behind your notebook searching the web for more beautiful things to decorate your home with. When you are not using it, you can choose to leave this secretaire open, but you can also close the lid and place a clock, a table lamp or a pair of candle sticks on top. What also makes it very useful are the three perfect sliding drawers in which you can keep a lot of paperwork and much more. All drawers come with quality brass swan-neck handles and just like the lid all drawers too come with a perfect working lock and key. 'Dressed up' with just a few stylish antique accessories this secretaire will paint a beautiful picture. One that will certainly help toward making your house your home. Our price for this rare and stylish ladies desk even includes perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days. Maximum height x width x depth: 38.4 x 24 x 16.5 inches. Depth when opened: 28.3 inches. Height of the desktop: 28.3 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

    Unique early 1900s, solid nutwood, Gothic Revival writing table. If you are a collector of unique, great looking and practical to use Gothic antiques then this striking desk could be flying your way soon. This antique writing table has the most beautiful top that we have ever seen on a Gothic desk. The top is actually inlaid with a stunning burl nutwood and to make it even more special, the extra 'slides' on the sides (the ones that can make this desk more than 8.5 feet wide) have been inlaid with the exact same burl 'star pattern'. We feel this desk must have always been used with a glass top, because we have also never seen an unrestored desk of this age with a mint desk...
