Antique Chippendale Style Mahogany Oval Writing Desk | Leather Top | AF-6796

Antique early 20th century oval writing desk in mahogany, a handsome piece of excellent quality in the Chippendale manner, showcasing fine craftsmanship and graceful curved lines. The desk has a central frieze drawer with lock above the kneehole, framed by a carved scrolling apron, and deep drawers to both pedestals. The drawers are fitted with brass drop handles, with heart shaped ring handles to the curved ends. The oval top is inset with a red leather writing surface with a gilt tooled border, framed by a crossbanded edge and a carved gadrooned moulding. It stands on four cabriole legs with finely carved acanthus and anthemion knees, ending in bold carved paw feet. The mahogany displays a lovely striped figure and a warm, rich colour, with a pleasing patina that sets off the red leather beautifully. Presented in good condition commensurate with age, the leather showing some wear and marking. A very desirable oval desk, a perfect statement piece for any study or home office.
