The perimeter of the top is finished with a continuous thick bronze gallery rail. The drawers are fitted with brass pull handles and a brass keyhole escutcheon and original key. The corners of the apron are comprised of corner blocks with carved rectangular accents in relief, leading down into squared tapering legs finishing in collared brass sabots. The desk has ample leg clearance of 25.5" from the apron to the floor. Well suited for a library, study, or office as a stylish writing desk or library table.
