Mid Victorian Bird's Eye Maple Writing Table
Mid 19th Century Victorian Period Bird's Eye Maple Free Standing Writing Table by Doveston, Bird and Hull - Manchester - 36"w x 20.5"d x 29"h
The recently relined blue gilt tooled leather top sits above a thumbnail moulded edge above two mahogany lined drawers, with one drawer retaining the original maker's impress mark, 'Doveston, Bird and Hull' as seen in the images attached.
The drawer fronts are fitted with original fluted knobs and bold cockbeadings to the front and to the reverse veneered panels and mouldings.
The intricate carved writing table is made in the solid for the most part, with tightly carved fretwork decoration, reeded columns and carved capitols that terminate in downswept legs with carved feet that stand on concealed gilt brass castors.
The writing table is compact with lots of high quality carving and stand wells being united by a solid bird's eye maple stretcher.
