About the Item
This remarkable 19th century George III satinwood and marquetry "Carlton House" desk presents two structures separated by a large molding, the lower section with three frieze drawers supported by four square tapered legs sitting on brass shoes and casters. The horseshoe upper section presents a brass baluster gallery above an arrangement of six drawers with keyholes, flanked by two concave-shaped cupboards and down-swept lidded compartments above a short drawer on each end. The articulated writing surface is inset with green leather, echoing the colored details inlaid and painted on the several framed and cross-banded panels that adorn the whole piece. The subtle Ancient Rome-inspired decoration of grotesques and scrolling vegetal arabesques burgeoning from urns is characteristic of the neoclassical Adams style taken up by Edwards and Roberts, one of England's leading cabinetmakers at the end of the 19th century. The graceful shape of this Georgian satinwood and marquetry desk, originally designed for the Prince Regent at Carlton House, along with its exquisite inlaid and painted classical decoration, would make it a superb addition to any room.

Footnote:
This particular design of desk owes its name to the one supplied to the Prince of Wales for Carlton House by the court cabinet maker John Kerr in 1790. Its design was later published by George Hepplewhite in 1792 and in 1793 by Thomas Shearer. The publication in Sheraton’s The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing-Book of several plates illustrating the interiors of Prince George’s recently built palace raised the interest for its interior decoration.
Three years later, the name Carlton House desk appears for the first time in the Estimate Sketch Book of Gillow of London and Lancaster. A Gillow’s sketch from 1798 differs slightly from Hepplewhite’s and it is closer in design to the present lot, most noticeably displaying the turned and fluted legs and the pierced brass gallery. The design of this desk similar to known Gillow’s stamped models, the type of construction and the typical square brass handles strengthen an attribution to this firm.
