Here is an opportunity to acquire an antique Victorian Davenport desk, skilfully crafted from the most beautiful burr walnut with tastefully applied inlay work and dating from around 1870.
This antique Davenport desk has a hinged top which is surmounted with a pierced brass three quarter gallery which encloses a thoughtfully divided interior suitable for the storage of stationery items such as ink, pens, paper, envelopes and, of course your letters and other documents.
The writing fall is hinged and has the benefit of a gilt tooled green leather writing surface which encloses a delightful satin walnut interior complete with two small drawers providing further storage.
The front of this Davenport desk is supported by a nicely carved pair of solid walnut columns, one on either side as shown in the photographs . The Davenport desk is mounted onto it’s original brass and porcelain castors for ease of movement around the room.
To the side of the Davenport desk you will find four useful drawers on one side (the right hand side as you look at it), and it has dummy drawers on the other side so that the desk appears the same on both sides.
It is clear that this Antique Davenport desk has been wonderfully made by a master craftsman and we can confirm that the quality of the work is indeed of a very high standard, right down to the drawer linings and other small but important details. The burr walnut that has been used is of the highest quality and the desk is finished on all sides so that it can stand freely in the middle of a room, making it an extremely versatile item of Victorian furniture.
