AMAZING VICTORIAN WALNUT DROP FRONT DESK W/EXTRAS

We pride ourselves in bringing to our customers hand picked European furniture. Our standards are such that we would proudly display any of the pieces on display in our gallery in our own home. The integrity of the wood itself must be in good shape, hardware must be original and complete. All carving and wood ornamentation must also be complete. We work with about a dozen buyers in Europe that are aware of our standards. The majority of our furniture is from the late 1800's to early 1900's but don't be surprised to see a stunning piece dating back to the 1700's or as recent as the 1940's if it is unique and unusual. We also have the occasional modern reproduction, But even these pieces are hand crafted using only the finest materials, dovetailed joints. Because of the quality and attention to detail we look at these as Antiques of the future. Our descriptions will state the approx age of each piece, dimensions and of course the price. Additional info & pictures of each piece are available via Email so do not hesitate to ask questions.

We picked up this unusual and very beautiful c. late 1800's walnut drop-front desk up at an affluent estate auction this past week.  Normally, we would have passed on this piece because it is far from perfect (not too far though), but it was so beautiful and unusual we couldn't pass it up and here is why (in all our years in the business and up until now, we have not had the privilege of viewing such a unique drop-front desk as this)... this was definitely a custom piece (not mass produced)... it's features include a fitted interior with stunning birdseye dovetailed drawers... black leather writing surface (probably not original but lovely)... extremely heavy and solid making this beauty oh so very functional for day-to-day use... original finish which has acquired a wonderful dark patina... a wonderful shelf for display on top and very ornate original carved wooden hardware... ample storage capacity and overall size that suits even the most space challenged homes... this beauty displays wonderfully but... has some imperfections that we must note as follows... the brass ornamentation around the keyhole is not original and a key is stuck in the lock (actually works great as a pull to lower the desk top)... there is some damage to one of the lower doors on the outside upper corner where the doors probably swung open during a move and broke off a bit of wood on the corner of the door (this does not, however, affect the functionality of the door)... there is a piece of molding missing on one side of the base and there are the normal 'owies' that come from 100 plus years of use.  All this being said, this desk displays wonderfully and if it didn't have the few 'mishap' issues that we've mentioned, it would sell easily for approximately $1,600.00 in any quality antique store.  Accordingly, we managed to get a great deal on  this piece (although we did have to step on a few toes to do so), so we are passing the opportunity and savings on to you our valued customers!  Nothing more to do but to make this your own and let it serve you and yours for generations to come... measures approximately 57" height by 30" width by 17" depth... offered at only $550.00
