About the Item
Featuring a gilt-tooled dark red leather writing surface. The upper section comprises a central drawer flanked by two smaller drawers.
Below, the twin pedestals each contain three graduated drawers. The entire piece stands on a smart plinth base with inset brass castors.
All drawers retain their original working locks and are operated by a single key. Stamped to the drawers. A fine, clean example from the mid-Victorian era, circa 1870s. Desk opening: 60cm high by 47cm wide.
Robert Dunthorne (1850-1925) initially traded in partnership with William Robert Deighton as Deighton & Dunthorne, dealers in furniture and fine art publishers at 320 High Holborn and at the Cabinet of Fine Arts, Vigo St, London until subject to liquidation proceedings in 1879 (London Gazette 1 July 1879). Dunthorne then set up as a print dealer at 5 Vigo St where he was trading by 1884 if not before. He married Jessie Walker in 1881 and they had six children. He can be traced in successive censuses as a print publisher from 1881 to 1911, in 1881 at 42 Castle St East, Marylebone, and in later censuses at Burnham, Buckinghamshire, in 1901 also as a picture dealer. Dunthorne died in 1925, leaving effects worth £40,630. When Charles Holmes at the National Portrait Gallery asked for information in 1913 about the two John Dunthornes who were friends of Constable, Robert Dunthorne told him that his ancestors were of the Norfolk branch of the family (National Portrait Gallery archive, NPG 104/4/3).
