Antique Ship's Purser's Desk, English
Our Stock # 24196
This is an antique ship's purser's desk. An English, burr walnut Davenport writing table in the Beidermeier taste, dating to the Victorian period, circa 1880.
Exquisite craftsmanship with superb colour and figuring
Displays a desirable aged patina and in very good order
Burr walnut stocks present striking grain interest
Rich caramel hues dazzle beneath a wax polish finish
Low shaped back rest adorns the top, with a useful butler's grasp
Drawer to centre dressed with a pair of circular brass pulls and lock — key absent
Inset leather skiver residing within the drawer, in a tasteful dark red
Skiver lifts and adjusts for angle upon a rack of ratchet teeth, with storage below
Extending upon lopers, the drawer conceals a small pen drawer to one side
Turned pillar supports to the front, opposite a panelled rear fascia
Demi-lune plinth of deep proportion, with a generous kneehole
The whole standing upon a quartet of squat bun feet
This is a striking antique ship's purser's desk, with beautiful burr walnut figuring and wonderful colour. Pleasingly presented with a suite of useful functions and of attractive form. Solid joints and construction, delivered waxed, polished and ready for the home.
