Period Writing Desk/ Library Table




Antiquing!  While we love modern, there's really nothing that adds layers, texture and character to a home like some nicely placed true antiques.  This very handsome early 19th c. mahogany writing desk/ library table, with original embossed leather top, has tapered legs with inlaid banding and patinated brass casters.  The drawers also have inlaid banding, their original wood pulls and very fine dovetailing.  Inside one of the drawers is a tag marked "THE WARDROOM LTD" and a price of $2,945.00.  An old tag from the heyday of true antiques?? The desk comes with a custom glass top (not pictured)  44" w.,  26" d., 30" h.  c. early 19th c.  SOLD
Condition:  Very good vintage condition with age appropriate wear.
