Description:
This beautiful solid-pine clerk's desk was hand-crafted in Victorian England around 1890. The pine displays a wonderful grain and rich complexion, both complemented by a lovely patina that will continue to grow more beautiful with each successive generation. This desk provides a generous amount of storage space for its size, with two external drawers and a top that opens to reveal an interior desk space with tongue-in-groove paneling. The dark green leather, although not in the prime condition it once enjoyed over a century ago, provides a smooth, elegant writing surface that is far superior to wood, glass or metal. Each drawer features solid-brass pulls and hand-cut dovetails. They also retain brass escutcheons but these do not, unfortunately, house functioning locks and the piece does not retain the original key. Some time ago the legs were damaged and the feet were sawed off, and each leg now shows signs of that damage in the form of significant cracks and chips; nevertheless the piece remains sturdy. This elegant pine Victorian clerk's desk would certainly make a fantastic addition to any home, so don't miss your opportunity to make it yours today!
