Cylinder Desk, Victorian Period, Flamed Mahogany, 19th Century
Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
Magnificent English made cylinder desk in flamed mahogany, Victorian period. Period : 19th century Dimensions : Height : 121cm x length : 138cm x depth : 79cm It has a small support on the top to hold candles or files in progress and a large barrel-fronted desk compartment with a quality interior. Once the cylinder is opened, it reveals the interior of the desk with 10 maple veneer drawers and 6 pigeon holes to hold letters or any type of document to be sent or awaiting processing. This desk has a slide at the front which has three compartments covered with original leather allowing on each side to leave the writings in progress for the left part, the inkwell and the writing utensils for the right part and a slope of writing which can be raised for the central part.  This first part rests on two pedestal bases, each composed of a series of three lockable drawers, equipped with original mahogany handles. Both bases are still equipped with their original brass castors, making the desk easy to manoeuvre. The desk is therefore divided into three individual sections, making it easy to transport and reassemble. The originality of this piece of furniture lies in its closing mechanism.  A cylinder is a movable flap that folds down or up over a series of compartments and drawers, closing the top box of the desk to protect personal documents. In the early models, the cylinder consisted of a relatively fragile system of slatted curtains. This was soon replaced by a rigid quarter-circle panel...

Rosewood 19th Century Writing Table
Located in Bedfordshire, GB
An exceptional quality mid-19th century, William IV Period, rosewood writing table having blind tooled leather inset to crossbanded top, over two drawers with original turned wooden knobs opposed by two false drawers, to extremely elegant shallow frieze, raised on reverse tapered, faceted, end supports with elegant carved scrolling feet and original recessed brass castors. Dating to the William IV period, which of course has a most distinctive style of its own sitting, despite not lasting very long between the late regency and victorian periods of english furniture making, this writing table has a lot of stand out features. Firstly it is a great size. A little bigger than many, indeed big enough to use as a day to day desk for working at, whilst not being overpoweringly large like many earlier georgian writing tables which one may find. It is also of exceptional quality. Clearly constructed in a top workshop it is constructed using high end, decorative rosewood veneers on the outside and a lot of mahogany as secondary timbers on the inside which is a great sign of quality. The entire table oozes class and sophistication in fact from top to bottom. The original turned wooden knobs are a nice feature, as is the high support...
