W. John Griffiths Antiques

Description

This is a very pretty mid 19th century satin birch freestanding writing table, highlighted with the clever use of contrasting mahogany beading and purple wood roundels . Its absolutely lovely quality , not stamped but clearly by a top cabinet maker most probably Holland and Sons.
The shaped top inset with the original gilt embossed leather over a plain frieze with mahogany beading enclosing two mahogany lined drawers. Raised on twin fluted and inlaid end pillars to each end down to flat platforms joined by a conforming stretcher and raised on swept legs ending in scrolled feet and concealed original brass castors.
English Circa 1850-1880
