An attractive little writing desk in an antique style and dating to the mid 20th century, this will also make a nice dressing table for a bedroom. It has a red gilt tooled leather top, a set of 8 small drawers at the top which are ideal for stationery or cosmetics and a low scalloped gallery around the top which stops items from falling down. The main drawer has a serpentine shape and a lovely burr grain to the veneer, with a pretty ivorine escutcheon for the lock, for which the key is available with a decorative tassel attached for a touch of luxury.
Dating circa 1960, this is made of yew and originates from England.
In good age related condition, there is a light ring mark on the leather and minor marks from general use over time. The key is available.
