A stunning French Mahogany Desk of superior quality made fro use in a library. It has beautiful matched flame mahogany veneers all round and the outstanding colour and figuring of these present this as a very special and expensive desk when it was made circa 1880.

The writing surface is in three sections, a central hinged slope with original adjustable support and two side sections. The central slope was designed for viewing art works, maps or etching etc. whilst seated at the desk. There are two further pull out writing slides with matching writing leather. The writing leather is a new replacement and decorated with blind and gilt tooling.

The writing surface is surrounded by a three inch band of well figured mahogany with a bull nosed edge and rounded corners. The frieze has a break front design, to both front and back, with a long central drawer slightly recessed, to the front. There are no drawers to the reverse as all drawers to the top and right pedestal take up the depth of the desk.

All the drawers have flame mahogany matched veneers with decorative brass escutcheons, brass locks, hand cut dovetails and oak linings. The top drawer of the right pedestal also has a removable organizer tray and a lockable inner compartment with its own original key. The drawers and cupboards are opened with the key of which there are 2 available. One of these keys is certainly an original.

The left hand pedestal has a cupboard to the reverse designed for vertical folio storage. The dividers are not there but the slots are still in place. These can be replaced by a central shelf is required.

The desk is made in three sections, the top and separate pedestals, for ease of transportation and installation. The pedestals are each fitted with 3 drawers to the front and stand on plinth bases with hidden castors.

This stunning antique mahogany desk is of the highest quality with great attention to detail and it has been professionally restored to enhance its original beauty.

This fabulous antique desk would make a real show stopper in any room and a wonderful focal point of any traditional or contemporary office or library.
