The desk top is a large single piece of oak with a gently carved chamfer edge with rounded corners. The top is complemented with an original pair of ceramic inkwells which fit into two small recesses within the table top. Beneath the top are a pair of smooth running drawers on oak runners with recessed brass drawer pulls to each. The desk is supported by a pair of carved uprights, supported on broad sledge feet and united by a single stretcher with tusk tenon fixings. The desk exhibits a splendid honey colour to the oak with good colour and grain throughout. The desk is of a manageable size and would not only make a fantastic desk but also a side table, console or dressing table. Reassuringly heavy and of excellent quality. English, circa 1895.
