A very elegant 19th century English satinwood “kidney” shape desk or dressing table with its original hand painted decoration and leather top, circa 1880.
The kidney shape gives this a much lighter feel than a typical oblong piece, the curved sides being less harsh but still offers you generous drawer space.
Well proportioned and there is a sensible kneehole area for sitting at if you are looking for a daily desk or dressing table (sometimes the kneehole area is just too tight to sit at comfortably).
The original painted garlands to the drawer fronts are all in good condition, the scenes to the sides are a little more worn but still very much there and showing good detail.
This desk or dressing table can free stand if required, being finished to the rear too.
I have shown (as example only) a dressing table mirror to give you an idea of how you could use it, or you could use a wall mirror instead.
Great piece of furniture, any queries don’t hesitate to get in touch.
