Description:
This is a Georgian Revival partners' desk, likely made in England during the early-to-mid 20th century. The desk has a classic mahogany veneer with a typical pedestal form, featuring two banks of drawers on either side and a central kneehole. The top has a three-section leather writing surface with gold tooling, a traditional decorative feature referencing 18th and early 19th-century English desks. The oval brass swan-neck pulls are in keeping with late Georgian and Edwardian taste. The bow-fronted drawer faces and molded base indicate the revival of late 18th-century design vocabulary.
