About the Item

The desk is painted in a faux rosewood finish with faux banding and ram's heads. The drawer has a beautiful brass urn and ring pull and garlands painted around the desk with a scene on top the desk surface showing what appears to be figures wrestling or fighting. Measures 30.75 tall x 37 wide x 24.25 and dates to the 1760s era.
