Dutch marquetry cylinder topped desk

A stylish Dutch marquetry cylinder topped desk. The rectangular shaped desk is in rosewood which has faded nicely to a warm mid colour. The sides, gables and legs are smothered in typical Dutch marquetry.

The cylinder of the desk has a big bouquet of flowers in the centre and from this there is flowers flowing from it. When the top pulls back, a leather writing surface is revealed with interior drawers and compartments are also decorated with marquetry. The whole piece stands on four elegant but simple cabriole legs.

Circa 1880
