Description
A George III Style Mahogany Pedestal Desk
Early 20th Century
Height 31 x width 72 x depth 40 inches.
Property from a Private Collection, Chicago, Illinois
Condition
One drawer's bail handle is detached but present. The proper-right side has some sun fading, and there are scuffs and typical wear around the feet of the desk. The top surface has some craquelure in its finish, and the leather surface shows scratches, wear, fading and faint discoloration as is typical, but no significant damage or loss. Sturdy and usable overall, with normal wear from age and use. Would present well with polish and cleaning. The top lifts off, but there is a bottom layer to the top that does not separate from the pedestal bases. This means that, effectively, the desk does not come apart in sections for transport.
