This desk contains two larger drawers and two smaller drawers. Even the sides look great! As you can see, the desktop has sustained a variety of wear marks over the years, which are consistent with age.
The solid brass pulls contrast beautifully with the oak. The quartersawn oak shows a rich complexion and a striking grain. These heavily carved legs are as sturdy as they are beautiful.
Each drawer features hand-cut dovetails. The sides also feature intricate carvings. The back, like the rest of this desk, is quite sturdy.
     Handmade in Victorian-period England around 1880, this gorgeous antique desk represents the finest in English furniture craftsmanship. The oak, for instance, is not only adorned by an array of intricate carvings, but also shows a rich complexion and a distinct grain, made more beautiful over the years by the development of a lovely patina. The solid brass hardware also contrasts beautifully with the darker oak. Of course, this desk is also as sturdy as it is elegant, and remains as strong today as it ever was. This is in part due to the quality of craftsmanship and in part due to the fine solid oak that was used in its construction. Each drawer features hand-cut dovetails, which is yet another indicator of high quality, while all the drawers operate with amazing smoothness. Understandably, this desk has sustained a variety of wear marks, which you can see in the accompanying pictures. Otherwise, this desk remains in excellent condition for its age.
