About the Item

Very elegant writing table by Waring & Gillow. This little masterpiece of early 20th century furniture making is an absolute joy to own, use and to look at. All handcrafted by one of the greatest furniture designers and makers from England, the sheer presence of this unique desk will instantly change the atmosphere of the room she is in. Nowadays most people would rather read, study or search for something online behind a desk, but we hope this one of a kind antique will go to a hopeful romantic who still sits down and writes personal messages to loved ones. This Georgian Style desk is a great example of the finest workmanship around the turn of the century and we were not surprised to find the maker's name plate (on the inside of the drawer) of Waring and Gillow (since 1695). A name that needs no further introduction. The elegant legs are made of solid walnut and the stylishly rounded top half of this desk is beautifully inlaid with burl walnut. The two tone color makes its grand design even more impressive and desirable. This highly stylish and curvy desk stands as firm as the day she was made. Both the fall front and the drawer come with a good working lock and key. The interior almost looks like a miniature theatre and this fine piece of furniture will never go out of style. A small piece of brass from one of the drawer's handles is missing, but besides that, this 100+ year old desk is in excellent condition. The height of the 'desk top' when folded open is 28.3 inches or 72 centimeters. Thanks to the aging of the top quality timber, this practical ladies desk has a wonderful patina. A piece like this will always lift your spirit and we are certain it will help toward making your house your home. Mind you, our fair price even includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door within 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth when closed: 36.6 x 22 x 16.5 inches. Depth with an open 'desktop': 26 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). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
