We feel fantastically privileged to present this fabulous flame mahogany lion’s head Chippendale partners desk.

It is an exact replica of the desk supplied by Thomas Chippendale to Sir Rowland Winn in 1767 for his residence, Nostell Priory in Yorkshire and, in our view, demonstrates the highest standards of the cabinet maker’s craft, representing all that is finest from the 18th century – perfect proportions, fine cabinet making and carving of the highest quality.

The original of this Chippendale partners desk is owned by the National Trust and still resides at the site of the former Nostell Priory, now a beautiful Palladian style house, the current home of Lord St Oswald. The desk has been wonderfully crafted from flame mahogany and is finished all round so it is free standing. The desk features fabulously carved lion’s heads, with acanthus and laurel details, and it stands on elegant lion’s paw feet. Carved from solid mahogany, the craftsmanship is of the highest order, surely the work of a master carver.

This Chippendale partners desk is identical on both sides, with the cupboard doors on one side each opening to reveal a bank of four graduated drawers, all lined in solid mahogany with brass drop handles, and a central frieze drawer. The doors on the other side open to reveal a drawer above four vertical file dividers and a central frieze drawer. To cap it off, the top is lined in the finest olive green gilt-tooled hide.

We cannot overstate the significance of this piece; it represents the very pinnacle of the cabinet maker’s craft. It may interest you to know that Christie’s sold a similar replica Thomas Chippendale desk, by London furniture makers Arthur Brett, for £221,000 in March 2017. This stunning Chippendale partners desk will bring style and beauty to your home like no other piece and is certain to become the shining centrepiece of your furniture collection.
