19TH CENTURY
Height 29 3/4 x width 37 1/4 x depth 19 3/4 inches.
Condition
This desk in very good stable condition and presents nicely. The top is match-book inlaid burl wood with a walnut border, the drawers all run easily and the hardware is complete with no issues. One drawer has rub marks on the bottom edge.
The kneehole section has a keyed door opening to two shelves, and measures 16" x 9" and is set-back 6" making the shelves 12 inches deep. The side panels have age splits, commensurate with age.
The bracket feet are in good condition and there is no sign of the veneer lifting. The desk may have been refinished at some point, but it does not look to be a new finish.
