Description

A fine early Victorian mahogany writing table dating to circa 1860, displaying elegant proportions and refined craftsmanship typical of the period. The rectangular top is inset with a richly patinated green leather writing surface, decorated with a gilt and blind-tooled border, adding both practicality and visual appeal.

The table is fitted with two frieze drawers, each retaining their original turned wooden knobs and working locks, accompanied by keys. The drawers are well-made, with quality dovetail construction, providing useful storage while maintaining the table’s balanced and uncluttered design.

Raised on four turned and reeded legs, the table stands on original brass cup castors, allowing for ease of movement and lending a subtle decorative finish. The warm colour and figuring of the mahogany enhance its timeless character.
