British Colonial Mahogany Writing Table
Late 19th centuryAn elegant British colonial dark mahogany writing table with gadrooning on the edge of the writing surface. It features an unusual drawer configuration. The front with two equal sized short drawers, both with nice panelling and brass pulls. On either side of the writing table also two drawer fronts, but one is a faux drawer. The reeded legs are turned and tapered, with rings at the top and ending with a collared pegged foot.
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 mahogany has a rich warm, dark shade with a striking grain. The drawer sides and bottom are made of teakwood and attached with fine dovetails to the mahogany drawer front.
