A delightful example of Arts & Crafts design & craftsmanship of the era, this lovely piece features;

• solid maple timber construction
• circa 1900
• superb pierced features
• slope-top, drop-front writing desk
• multiple internal pigeon holes
• leather inset to desk top
• 4 locks, 1 key (key locks the slope-top only)
• complete & matching brass loop handles
• manual dual slide-out supports for the desk
• open bookshelf on both sides
• 3 hand-cut dovetail joined drawers
• bracket feet

Condition overview; in fair condition (from a finish perspective), good condition (structurally), relative to its age, the drop-front, slide-out supports, drawers and lock to the slope top all work well.  As expected on a well-used piece of this vintage, it displays numerous of general wear, knock and surface marks (including to the internal desk space and particularly to the leather inset).

Dimensions; 1150mm wide x 420mm deep (desk open; 760mm deep) x 1175mm high (excluding backing board; 1050mm high).  Desk top when open; 760mm high, work space depth to front of pigeon holes; 580mm deep.
