Dated to the first quarter of the 19th Century this fine Regency Desk presented in excellent original condition features a sliding desk slope which pulls forward to produce a kneehole surface, the hinged writing slope features a gilt tooled leather inset. This lid lifts to reveal a capacious storage area for papers and documents etc behind which are 4 rosewood veneered drawers, 2 of which are real and 2 which conceal the pull out writing holder to the Right hand side (see photos) This pen holder pulls out and swings 90 degrees to sit alongside the slope for convenience and is locked via a fake button inside. Below are 4 graduated drawers each of which run smoothly, each with original blue paper lining, matching and corresponding veneer across all 4 drawer fronts each cockbeaded and with original mahogany handles.
