This is an attractive and superb quality antique Victorian Rococo style carved mahogany and leather desk, circa 1880, in excellent condition. The desk is constructed in the style of the French 18th Century Rococo period, which involved intricate and profuse floral decoration. Boasting an ornate serpentine design, the top of the desk features a red leather with gold tool perimeter. Below, there are three hand-dovetailed, mahogany lined drawers which feature foliate and shell carvings to the drawer fronts and desk frame, along with the original floral gilt handles. The central drawer includes a working lock and key. The drawer linings even feature quarter beading to the frames which is a true sign of quality. The centre of the desk features a raised ornate carved kneehole frieze, so that you can comfortably place your legs underneath the desk whilst working. The shaped frieze is continued all the way round the desk. Carved floral and shell mouldings adorn the corners of the desk frame. The desk stands on elegant tapering cabriole legs, with further profuse foliate carvings within studwork to the knees. The legs terminate on the original brass and mug castors. This is a very attractive single piece desk, with excellent proportions. The carved foliate detail is also present to the sides and back of the desk, enabling the desk to be freestanding in the centre of a room.
Rococo was an 18th-century artistic movement and style, which affected several aspects of the arts including painting, sculpture, architecture, interior design, decoration, literature, music and theatre. It takes its name from the French rocaille (pronounced 'rock-eye'), which means the rock or broken shell motifs that often formed part of the designs. The Rococo developed in the early part of the 18th century in Paris, France as a reaction against the grandeur symmetry and strict regulations of the Baroque, especially that of the Palace of Versailles. The Rococo style was used primarily in antique furniture, silver and ceramics, rather than architecture.
The desk boasts a rich brown mahogany colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This desk would look superb in a variety of rooms from home office, drawing room or library. The desk would certainly grace any home or office and is a great investment, as it is extremely functional. So don't miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of antique furniture.
