{h1RARE MID-18TH CENTURY ENGLISH OAK DESK

RARE MID-18TH CENTURY ENGLISH OAK DESK

This wonderful small mid-18th century writing desk is a truly rare and delightful piece of English country furniture. The moulded-edge top is of three planks and has cleated ends; on either side of the base are three graduated drawers and a small single drawer with brass ring pulls, with a shaped frieze below. One really charming detail is an attractively turned quarter-column set into the inside of each of the two front legs; the front legs also have concealed castors, in the manner of an extending architect's table; another unusual detail is the quatrefoil cut-out in each of the bracket feet.

English, circa 1750

Height 28 3/4" (73cm)
Width 43 1/4" (109.9cm)
Depth 26" (66cm)
