Description

Mahogany knee hole desk of outstanding quality by Morison & Co of Edinburgh. This stunning desk has a beautifully pierced brass gallery and shaped top has an arrangement of three drawers across the top and three graduated drawers in each of the pedestal. All the drawers are oak lined, hand cut dove tail joint and retain the original handles and locks, sadly no key though. The warm mahogany drawer fronts have cockbeaded edges and decorated in fine satinwood string inlay. This desk has been made by skilled craftsman to the highest standard and is in excellent condition a great addition to a home office or study area.
James Morison took over the business from his father. By the time of his death, 2 June 1862, the cabinet maker was based in Edinburgh and trading as Morison & Co.
Examples of Morison & Co. furniture can be seen at Lauriston Castle.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
