Description

William IV Rosewood Davenport

A fine William IV rosewood Davenport desk of typical form, combining elegant design with practical functionality. Raised on bun feet and a plinth base, the piece features carved and shaped supports that add to its decorative appeal.

To the right-hand side is an arrangement of four mahogany-lined drawers, surmounted by a useful pen tray. The writing slope is fitted with a replacement leather surface, finished with hand-applied gilt and blind tooling, offering a classic writing area.

The slope lifts to reveal a well-appointed interior in beautifully figured bird’s eye maple, providing compartments for storage and organisation. The piece is further enhanced by a decorative brass gallery to the top.

A refined and attractive example, presented in good overall condition.
