About this item
This is an antique carved correspondence desk with hidden drawer. A Scottish, oak writing table, dating to the early Victorian period, circa 1860.
Superior quality desk with delightfully figured stocks and Gothic revival overtones. Displays a desirable aged patina and in good order. Select oak shows fine grain interest and wisps of medullary rays. Rich caramel hues beam beneath the wax polish finish.
Low back rest adorned with carved winged motif. Upper console arranged with five drawers around a laptop friendly recess. Writing surface decorated with leaf carved pattern edge.
Desk base offers four drawers, each dressed with a circular pull. Central desk dressed with an inset brass lined lock — key absent. Right-hand drawer replete with concealed compartment to rear of box. Scrolled brackets frame the kneehole, uniting the quartet of baluster turned legs.
This is a dashing antique carved correspondence desk, offering the delight of a hidden compartment and fascinating extending writing surface. Solid joints and construction, delivered waxed, polished and ready for the home.
