Mahogany Partners Desk, Circa 1860

Unavailable
An Exhibition Quality Mahogany Partners Desk, circa 1860. By Wright and Mansfield. Rectangular top with original leather inset, above five oak lined drawers on either side, all with original mercury-gilt hardware, the center drawers being stamped "WRIGHT & MANSFIELD 104 NEW BOND ST." Four carved and fluted baluster columns support the desk. Provenance: Supplied to Prestwold Hall, home to the Packe family for 350 years. Sir Christopher Packe, sometime Lord Mayor of London and a resolute supporter of Cromwell and the Parliamentarian' cause, came into ownership of the Prestwold estate during the Commonwealth interregnum. Note: Wright & Mansfield were a mid-nineteenth century firm who excelled in producing pieces mainly for exhibition and not for general circulation. A collection of Wright & Mansfield pieces are currently housed and on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
