A wonderful antique mahogany and leather escritoire desk. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1900-1920 period.

The quality is outstanding, this is very well made and beautifully designed. It sits on a X framed solid mahogany base with a nicely turned stretcher for support, with brass casters beneath. The leather topped writing surface unfolds and is supported by runners that slide out from either side of the main drawer. There is a back gallery section that contains lots of additional smaller drawers. The desk top when closed and the main drawer front are cross banded, this also has a nicely polished back, so can be used as a free standing item.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age.
