This is a gorgeous antique Davenport desk which is crafted from beautiful burr walnut, circa 1870 in date. The desk has a rear stationery compartment which encloses a divided interior with various divisions for ink, pens, paper and envelopes. It is boxwood and ebony strung with marquetry decoration, and is raised on bun feet. The hinged writing fall has a green and gilt tooled leather writing surface enclosing a satin walnut interior with two small drawers. The front is supported by a pair of carved solid walnut columns and the Davenport stands on it's original brass and porcelain castors. There are four useful drawers on one side and dummy drawers on the other, making it not just a symbol of refinement but a practical furnishing as well. It has been wonderfully made by a master craftsman, the quality of the work is breathtaking, the burr walnut is of the highest quality and it is finished on all sides so that it can stand freely in the middle of a room, making it extremely versatile.
