Description

We are pleased to offer this Burr Walnut Victorian Extending Book Slide, with Brass Mounts and Ceramic plaques in the style of Sevres. The engraved brass mounts contain the oval ceramic plaques and have a fine floral and foliate design, with a shell at the top. The plaques both feature chubby cherubs and are, we believe, transfer printed, with overpainting by hand. The two end sections are in burr walnut with an ebony edging and the base sliding sections are in straight grain walnut. This is a well made, quality item and even the hinges have an engraved pattern.
