Antique Mahogany Military Campaign Desk

A lovely mahogany campaign desk dating from the late 19th Century. It is a pedestal desk with a long map drawer below the writing surface and a further 6 smaller drawers in the pedestals. The top of the desk has a raised gallery around the edge and its original black leather writing surface with a tooled edge. It has its original brass inset military handles and internal brass latches to lock the desk parts in place. It stands on turned bun feet which could be removed for transport. It is a good large size and there is ample leg clearance in the kneehole of 24” (61cm). The desk is in good condition for its age. It is well travelled but has a lovely patina and has obviously been well looked after. The drawers open smoothly and are generally clean and tidy inside with a few minor ink stains. There are signs of age and use, some general light marks and knocks but nothing detrimental. There are some small shrinkage splits in the back panels of the desk but this isn't seen when against a wall and the desk is strong and sturdy. There is some light wear to the writing surface but no major damages and it is perfectly usable. The desk has been cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
