A large and very impressive antique Chippendale style mahogany leather top writing table / desk and chair. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1950’s period.

This is of outstanding quality, it has a gorgeous and very practical design. The top has three generous drawers, the back is finished with three dummy drawers, so this identical from the front and back. The drawers are solid oak lined, they have lovely brass handles and fine, hand cut dovetailed joints.

The top has a gorgeous inset black leather with tooled edges, this stands on finely detailed legs with beautiful pierced fretwork under the corners. The chair that comes with this was made together with the desk.

We have had the desk re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age with just some minor wear here and there. The chair is also in nice overall condition, with some minor wear to the polish. The leather seat has some minor pitting and surface wear, it is presentable and functional, though could perhaps do with re-covering.
