Description

This Victorian Burr Walnut Partners Desk is indeed an impressive and elegant piece of furniture. Victorian refers to the time period during the reign of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, which lasted from 1837 to 1901. Burr walnut is a type of wood known for its rich and highly figured grain pattern, often used in high-quality furniture making.

A partners desk is a large desk designed to accommodate two people, typically placed facing each other. It features a central dividing section with drawers and cabinets on both sides, providing each person with their own workspace and storage area. This type of desk was commonly used in offices and libraries during the Victorian era, reflecting the importance of written correspondence and paperwork during that time.

The combination of Victorian design elements and the use of Burr walnut wood makes the desk visually appealing and highly valued by collectors and enthusiasts of antique furniture. The intricate details, such as carved accents, brass or metal hardware, and the natural beauty of the Burr Walnut grain, contribute to its overall allure.
This Wonderful Desk has a Green Leather Writing Surface (replacement) with hand applied gilt and blind tooling and Burr Walnut Crossbanding.
The Desk Also Features Ebonised Detailing.
