A superb antique Victorian writing table / desk. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1850-1870 period. This is of outstanding quality and is a very useful size, with lovely proportions. It stands on beautifully turned and very sturdy fluted baluster legs with porcelain casters. There are two drawers with nicely turned handles and fine, hand cut dovetailed joints. There is a gorgeous inset burgundy leather top with gold tooled edges, the leather has a beautiful colour tone. The back is also nicely finished and polished, so this can be used as a free standing item. We have had this recently re-polished, it is in excellent condition for its age, with a gorgeous all round patina.
