Edwardian Mahogany Metamorphic Writing Table
A compact Edwardian mahogany writing table with satinwood crossbanding and boxwood stringing, the top opening to reveal a smoothly rising writing slope, lifted automatically into place by the patented metamorphic action as the leaves are raised.
The leather writing slope further lifts to reveal a spacious storage area beneath, with additional compartmentalised storage to the rear.
An original ivorine plaque indicates the piece was retailed by Finnigans, noted outfitters of luxury goods and travelling accessories for wealthy clients. To the rear a brass plaque denotes “PATS. 1631 & 5466”, the patent reference to the pop-up rise and fall mechanism.
Very good antique condition, with a gentle patina and some wear to the leather writing surface consistent with age and use. Below, an additional pull-out storage compartment with a leather-covered lid, with age-related wear to the interior, retained in original condition. Structurally sound, clean and ready to place.
English, circa 1900.
