George Walton. Arts & Crafts Walnut Desk with Secret Drawers & Heart Escutcheons
About the Item
George Walton. A rare Arts and Crafts walnut desk almost identical to the desk Walton designed in 1898 for Sidney Leetham for the morning room in Elm Bank, a major interior commission in York, England.
This desk is a complex hybrid design. The overhanging top with central arched cupboard with twin heart escutcheons to the S-shaped drawer fronts, flanked by hidden upstanding conforming drawers, that lock when the cupboard doors are shut. Four drawers to the upper section with cream ivorine rectangular inlays and brass drop handles. The original leather writing area with a secret pen compartment on the right-hand side. The central lower drawer with shaped apron below and is flanked by deeper compartmental drawers with skirt-shaped brass escutcheon. The whole on slender tapering legs and to the back there discreetly sits an ingenious secondary workstation with a drop-down leather writing area, and filing compartments.
With the desk positioned against a wall, it could become a place to hide treasured objects.
Provenance: With The Fine Art Society in 1989.
