About the Item
GEORGE III PROVINCIAL PATINATED OAK THREE-DRAWER WRITING TABLE
England, circa 1780 with scrolled cupid's bow apron
Item # 312EKH07Q
A beautifully patinated writing table from the George III period, this intelligently conceived and finely proportioned table features a rectilinear top with an integral coved-bead edge projecting over three drawers, these each hand-dovetailed with applied cockbead molding surrounding ovular bail pulls. The shaped apron features a cupid's bow in the center of all three sides and the table is raised over straight tapering legs. It is a positively glowing table with a wonderful silky finish complete with centuries of surface history worn into the finish and the underlying solid oak. Both incredibly useful and positively gorgeous.
Measurements: 28" H x 18" D x 29 1/2" W
Condition Report:
