The brass gallery lifts up to reveal a screen, originally used to shield the user of the desk against heat coming from the fire place.The writing surface rises to display ample storage space within the desk. At the back of the desk there is a small pull out, hinging slide. The desk has two shaped supports, united by an upholstered foot stool, standing on original castors. This piece is in good condition, having been re-finished by hand.

In 1820 John Howard started trading at 24 Lemon St, London, as a ‘Cabinet Manufacturer’. He was to stay there for nine years until he moved premises to 27 Great Alie St. and then later in 1832 he was to move the small distance to 34 Great Alie St where he would stay and open an upholstery workshop/showroom at 36 Red lion St until 1845 (the Red Lion premises were only used for one year).
It wasn’t until 1848 after a short period of non-trading that the company was to take on part of the address more familiar with the company. In 1848 John Howard and Sons started trading at 22 Berners St as ‘Cabinet Maker, Upholsterer and Decorator’.
In 1853 John Howard expanded the business into 26 Berners St.
