A lovely Victorian satinwood desk dating from the mid 19th Century. It has it's original paper maker's label for William Anstell.
The desk has an arrangement of 9 drawers around a central kneehole. Each drawer has its original turned wooden knobs and each pedestal has a plinth base with castors below. The top of the desk has a lovely green leather writing surface with a gilt tooled edge.
It is a good quality piece and the Satinwood has a wonderful rich colour.
The desk is in good condition for its age and has been well looked after. The drawers open well and are generally clean and tidy. There are normal signs of age and use, some minor knocks and light surface marks and a few old repairs to the veneer around the leather but nothing detrimental. The desk has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
