This superior quality English antique desk has very unusual design in the
style of Thomas Chippendale. Supplied by Maples, probably from their
Paris branch.
A large mahogany partner's desk, it has attractive serpentine sides
and top, shell and swag carved corners and 'egg and dart' mouldings.
The pedestals have rounded corners serpentine exterior sides with
paneling and are each fitted with four drawers to the front and the
back. The whole stands on substantial bracket carved feet.
The drawers have carved mouldings, acanthus carved handles and are
made with hand cut dovetail joints and mahogany drawer linings.
The desk still has its original faded coral pink writing surface,
which has developed a beautiful patina. The top has a bull nose moulded
edge with decorative carved brackets over the knee hole.
The desk was made in France and sold via Maple and Co. of London
& Paris. The drawer locks are stamped for Maple and Co. in Arts
and Crafts style lettering.
As with all pedestal desks, it comes in 3 parts for ease of handling
and transportation.
