About the Item

This English writing desk from the 19th century is a well-proportioned and finely crafted example in mahogany, showcasing the elegance and precision of late Georgian or early Regency design. The rectangular top is fitted with a tooled black leather writing surface, framed by a mahogany border with softened edges and rounded corners—classic details that speak to its period craftsmanship. Below the top, two drawers are symmetrically arranged, each fitted with turned brass knobs and original keyholes. The drawer fronts display attractive mahogany grain with a subtle satin sheen, enhanced by the quality of the wood selection. The desk stands on four turned and reeded legs, which taper gracefully toward original brass casters, adding both mobility and refinement. The apron height of 24 inches from floor to underside offers ample leg clearance for modern use. Compact enough for a library, hallway, or bedroom, this desk maintains a timeless character—combining utility with architectural grace. It can function equally well as a writing table, laptop station, or occasional console.
