| Description |
| A very rare and fine quality mahogany Georgian partners writing table / desk with pull out adjustable reading / writing slide. This extremely rare writing table is made from the finest mahogany timbers with a rectangular leather inserted top with fine mahogany crossbanding above a two slender central oak lined drawers, the top having an adjustable leather ratcheted writing slope with crossbanded edge, flanked by two larger drawers with brass locks. As this is a partners desk the drawer arrangement is fully mirrored to the other side again having an adjustable leather writing slope. Standing on tapering mahogany legs terminating on brass castors this well proportioned fine quality table is in very good condition having been fully restored using traditional methods. The leather is an old leather which is in very good condition with no rips or tears but has obviously been used and the brass handles to be have been replaced at some point along its lifetime which is very normal for a writing table of this age which dates to the late 18th Century circa 1790-1800
