Antique Ladies Writing Desk, French, Walnut, Table Antique  Ladies Writing Desk French %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
This is an antique ladies writing desk. A French, walnut decorative bonheur du jour, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900.

Beautiful craftsmanship with superb colour and form
Displaying a desirable aged patina and in very good order
Select walnut stocks present exquisite golden caramel hues
Striking grain interest evident throughout the frame and openings

Sarcophagus top sits prominently above the serpentine front
Multiple surfaces displaying exceptional marquetry with animal and foliate decor
Lifting upwards, the arched lid dressed with an ormolu lock escutcheon — key present
Opening to reveal an extending writing surface and a trio of small drawers over a faux fascia

Surface replete with an inset leather writing skiver in a deep forest green hue
Sash aprons to each side and the front, hosting a trio of shaped drawers
Front knees accentuated with eye-catching ormolu mounts, displaying gilt tones
Standing upon a quartet of slender, elongate cabriole legs

Observed by our in-house restorers during the professional clean the desk received, a wonderful discovery was made within the frame - a personal note left in 1905 ordinarily hidden within this fine piece, and potentially discovered for the first time since it was written nearly 120 years ago. A fascinating find, captured here for posterity.

This is a superb antique ladies writing desk, with an exquisite decorative finish, fit for the finest of rooms. Solid joints and construction, delivered ready for the home.
