Stock No.16517
A very fine 19th century desk very much in the manner of Gillows. This is a piece of exceptional quality, with a burr walnut veneer strung with satinwood marquetry to the top, the drawers and the pedestal. The breakfront top is inset with a tooled leather writing surface, bordered by brass beading, above a central secrétaire drawer, supported by elegant ebonised parcel-gilt pilasters and flanked by ten further locking doors. The desk alludes to the Aesthetic Movement style, but is not overtly so.
English, late 19th century.
