Description

This Victorian pollard oak davenport desk, circa 1870, is an elegant and characterful example. The top carries its original brass gallery above a brown leather writing surface with gold tooling, while the writing section pulls forward to reveal a generous knee height. A hinged lid opens to storage wells and drawers, including a secret pen tray, with working lock and key. In good rich colour and patina with only minor surface marks, it remains ready for everyday use.
