Object Description
An early 19th century George IV rosewood Davenport desk.
The desk has four side drawers to the right hand side, four dummy drawers to the left hand side and a gallery back.
The drawers have mahogany linings and turned knob handles and above the drawers is a small pen and ink drawer that pulls open and swings forward for use.
The desk has a top that slides forward over your knees when used to write at.
The leather covered writing surface can be raised to give a higher platform with a storage area inside.
The desk has a plinth base which is lifted on casters so the desk can be moved around and has decorative flat pillars with carved tops to the front.
The desk is in good condition with an original tooled leather writing surface and the polish has been sympathetically restored.
