This antique Carlton House Desk was manufactured by H. Mawer & Stevenson (London) with inlaid marquetry detailing Urns, Curtains and Phoenix imagery. Two storage areas sit atop the desk, some with working drawers the others are decorative (faux) and feature bent wood lift tops for stationery and pen storage. Beneath the green leather writing surface, there are two sets of drawers on either side, as well as a deep central drawer. There are also decorative tapered legs raised on original brass castors.
This piece has some interesting "documented" history as evidenced by the label inside the lefthand storage section on the desktop. Note the refence to it having been sent from the antiques house of W. & A. Deuchar in Perth, Scotland to it's one time owner, in London, near Hampstead Heath.

The wooden elements are free of any significant surface marks, but there does appear to have been repairs made to one small arch support element under the main desktop (see detailed photo). The green leather writing surface does exhibit wear and minor staining consistent with its age.
