This antique Regency style flame mahogany desk has really nice proportions, being quite long, but not that deep. The top has a lovely 3 section tooled leather writing surface, which is hand coloured giving it plenty of character. The drawers have the original brass handles & the bottom right drawer is a double depth filing drawer. The back & sides are beautifully panelled & it sits on bracket feet. The flame mahogany panels on this desk are very striking & there are some interesting round mouldings in the corners of the side panels. Because of the extra width of this desk the kneehole space is particularly generous. This desk is in good original condition & I would say it dates to around the 1950's period. Like most of these pedestal desks it separates into three sections for easy transportation.
