A precious writing desk from about 1870 was hand crafted in England. The original finish on mahogany is well preserved, there are mars and shrinkage separations from age, see photos.
An upper gallery surrounds a pen rest and sockets for inkwells, there is a saddle leather insert on the slanted writing surface. Under the lift lid is storage space plus two tiny drawers. Because of the stacked bookshelf and spiral threaded spindle design, the frame has some flex, but is strong and usable.
Measurements of this sweet antique furniture are 21" wide, 18" deep, 35" tall and the top slopes up from 29" high in the front.
