Attractive Victorian Mahogany Small Davenport Desk
A lovely mahogany davenport. We date this davenport to the second half of the 19th century.
The davenport sits on four ceramic castors.
The davenport is fitted with a writing slope with a leather writing surface. At the rear of the desktop there is a raised hinged section that lifts up to reveal a sectional storage area for pens, ink etc. The main interior has an open storage space with small storage sections to the inside rear. There are four drawers on the outer right hand side and four dummy drawers on the left hand side.
The desk has a knee hole area with a carved leaf design to the rear and the front is supported by lovely turned legs.
The writing slope rear hinged section and drawers are fitted with locks (no key is supplied, but one should be obtainable if required).
The davenport has an overall height of 33" (84cm), a width of 21" (54cm) and a depth of 21.5" (55cm).
This lovely antique davenport remains in a good solid condition with surface markings commensurate with age and usage. There is some minor wear to some edges and the top surface and there are some usage ink marks to the inside of the rear hinged section. The leather writing surface also shows some wear, primarily to the top edge.
This remains a very stylish and elegant davenport. It will continue to provide sterling service for many years to come.
