Description:
19th Century Davenport Desk. The overall desk is ebonized rosewood and it is lavishly embellished with bronze Dore and a good amount of brass string inlay. First when you lift the top compartment with the bronze Dore gallery you can see it is a full fitted interior compartment in a very interesting wood- I don’t know exactly what it is but it could quite possible be Yew wood or bird’s eye maple. It has a locking mechanism. You lift the top desk surface you can then lift the lid back and you can slide the desk surface out to reveal a lidded desk compartment. The desk surface is the original hand tooled leather in a nice shade of teal green with three different rows of decorative tooling in gold. The desk has four doors on the right side and four false drawers on the left side. The desk is sitting on casters. The desk is finished on all sides so it can be easily displayed in the center of the room. It is in excellent condition needing only a good cleaning and polishing. Quite a special piece here with lots of form and movement. It measures overall to the top of the back gallery 36 ½”h x 22”w x 22”deep and from floor to the bottom of the desk surface where you would sit it measures 26”h. On the top of the desk surface - desk lid - there is an inlaid brass highly decorative insignia which appears to be initials CM. Made in the early 1800’s and is French or English of superior quality and decorative appeal. It is almost impossible to find a fabulous Davenport Desk these days.
