Rare Inlaid Mahogany Stand-up Desk, c.1815, New England
About the Item
Under the central case, there are two metal supports which pull out to the front and hinge upward so that when the top central section is folded open, a writing desk is securely positioned. Note, when the desk is open, there is a leather writing top with compartment below. Also, there is a series of interior pigeonholes, doors and drawers that fully utilize and compartmentalize the space. Also note that on each side of this casepiece, are two "secret" drawers. See detail.
This is a very intriguing and unique casepiece, and we can understand how the preeminent dealer, Wayne Pratt, was taken with it, which we acquired from his estate sale. We have never seen another.
