British Colonial Teak Wood Drop Front Desk
Mid 19th centuryAn antique British colonial drop front desk in teakwood. The front and the two drawers are beautifully decorated with crossbanding. The slanted top opens to form the writing surface and reveals a fitted interior with one small drawer and several document compartments. The desk further features two drawers with the original brass handles and stands on four cabriole legs connected with an H-stretcher.
The desk is in good condition and has been lovingly restored and finished to its former glory using a traditional form of French polishing and waxing. The Burma teak wood that this piece has been made of has a warm colour and an attractive, straight grain.
