A superb mahogany Gothic revival desk. Beautifully constructed, this desk stands on short cabriole legs with pad feet and castors. To either side of the knee-hole there are cluster columns, carved panels ( concealing drawers and sliding trays) and blind fretwork to the drawer fronts. The ends and back are further decorated with parquetry panels and fretwork. The top has a molded and banded edge and an inset vellum green leather writing surface with gilt and blind tooling. The desk also has a full compliment of working Bramah locks and two keys. A very high quality piece in terms of materials used and craftsmanship. In very good and original condition. 790mm high, 1090mm wide and 650mm deep. English. Circa 1890.
