Antique Georgian Inlaid Walnut Writing Table

£450.00 + VAT

TThis is a very early small Georgian period antique table or desk, probably dating to around the 1750-90's period. It's walnut with a lovely rich colour, a wonderful grain & full of character. There are three inlaid drawers, finely dovetailed & I think the brass handles are original. There has been a repair on the top as you can see in the images. This has been done professionally, but was done before we receive it. Having a polished top means this piece could be used as a side table or writing table. This table is in good original condition & has just been polished while retaining all the character.
