Walnut Victorian Kidney Bean Desk Desks Furniture

CLICK HERE TO BUY THIS WALNUT VICTORIAN KIDNEY BEAN DESK DESKS FURNITURE ON CANONBURY ANTIQUES

You are viewing a gorgeous kidney bean shaped desk in the English Victorian style and hand crafted from the finest, sumptuous walnut. The desk is covered in a lovely brown tooled leather with gold leaf banding to the perimeter and it is very comfortable to work on making this perfect for your home or office (or home office).

The piece has nine drawers, one of which is a double file drawer. You can only imagine the amount of time and craftmanship that would have gone into a desk like this. The desk is also unusual in that at the back there are two cupboards that open out so there is yet more storage space for all those files and books – you can see this with our photos.

Aesthetically it has a dainty, stylish quality to it but it is also very practical with ample work surface space and the ten brass handled drawers to the front for all your storage needs. The piece is offered in perfect condition and ready for home use right away. The great thing also is that this can be free standing in the middle of a room as the back is great to display.

It is built to last and will serve you for many generations and we are expecting a lot of interest in this fine specimen so get your bids in early. We bought this from a dealer we visit on London’s Camden Passage in Islington.

Regency English Carlton House Desk Writing Table Desks

CLICK HERE TO BUY THIS REGENCY ENGLISH CARLTON HOUSE DESK WRITING TABLE DESKS ON CANONBURY ANTIQUES

You are viewing an exquisite Carlton house style desk hand crafted from the finest satinwood and with some very intricate inlay work on all surfaces. The main structure is satinwood which has a lovely blonde finish to the wood, whilst into the structure of this has been embedded the amazingly intricate inlay work consisting of floral scrolls, leaves, urns, emblems and other heraldry. The amount of craftmanship that has gone into this is breathtaking if you imagine each piece of design has to be cut from the softer fruitwoods and then embedded into the main structure of the desk. You can only imagine how long this would take to achieve for a piece like this.

The term ‘Carlton House’ has become a popular phrase to describe a writing table with a low superstructure that encloses the sides of the writing area as well as the back. The Prince of Wales, later George IV, commissioned a table of this model in the 1790s for Carlton House.

The desk has a leather topped writing area surrounded by small drawers, cupboards and storage areas. There are also five larger drawers to the front of the desk so there is ample storage space on this piece. Each of the drawers also has more inlay work, as do the legs and the sides. This would make for a stylish piece for your home, offered as it is in perfect condition. The piece also sits on brass castors so it is easy to move around. We are expecting a lot of interest in this piece which we were lucky enough to buy from a private house call in Regents Park London.

The piece is solid and sturdy and will last for generations and hence would also make for a great heirloom.
