Antique English Georgian Mahogany Lady's Writing Desk Occasional Side Table 19Ct

About the Item

Circa 1815-25. The polished brass gallery rail above a slope front writing area which opens for storage, the hinged side door opens to reveal pull out drawers. The twin front columns ending on bun feet complete with original castors. Condition: Good condition for such an early piece with no losses anywhere, nice surface patination allover. Lock and key are present and working Width: (entire as shown at top) 21.25" (54cm). Height: (entire at center back) 34.5” (87.5cm). Depth: 21.75” (55.25cm). Location: Dublin City, Ireland. Affordable fixed charge Worldwide Store to door shipping offered by Seller in-house. This desk owes its name to a Captain Davenport who was the first to commission the design, from Gillow's of Lancaster, near the end of the 18th century. In a sense then it could also be considered a Campaign desk though there are no records indicating if Captain Davenport was in the British Army or the Royal Navy. This desk form was popular during the 19th century. There have been numerous reproductions during the 20th century, and amateur cabinetmakers sometimes consider a Davenport to be an interesting project.
