Description

Satinwood Hepplewhite Desk.
A Truly outstanding Satinwood Shereton desk C.1790 Of the finest quality. Having one long drawer with leather lined writing slope which ratchets up in the centre. When flat the whole slides back to reveal the drawer itself. The drawer runs on metal runners as it is so heavy, it slides effortlessly. Each side has 3 graduated drawers with a central concave cupboard with original “chicken wire”grills. To the top is an elegantly curving shaped back with bookshelf, this is fixed to the base.
The whole piece is veneered in sawn cut veneers of the finest satinwood, with tulip and king wood cross banding, ebony and boxwood lines. The six tapered legs are again inlaid with tulip wood to create the illusion of fluting, with square brass feet and steel buttons.Superb quality and extremely rare design.
All veneered on oak with oak linings to drawers. No restoration or damage totally original.
It is without doubt an example of the finest cabinet making of the late 18th Century. Been in my home for over 25 years.
