Antique French Style Inlaid Bonheur Du Jour with Gilt Metal Mounts

This small antique French style 'bonheur de jour' is an extremely attractive item & has many lovely features, so please enlarge al of the images. I'm not 100% sure on all the woods, but I think they are Kingwood, Rosewood & Walnut, with satinwood inlay. The gilt metal mounts are well cast & the leather writing surface is original. This desk is in lovely condition, having just been given a polish & I would say it dates from around the 1950's period.

Antique Victorian 3 Drawer Burr Walnut Writing Table Desk

This antique Victorian walnut writing table is in nice condition & I would say it dates to around the 1880-90's period. It has a beautiful burr walnut top & drawer fronts, which have ebonized handles, plus a lock in the middle drawer. The rest of this desk is walnut or possibly satin walnut & the wood has a nice silky finish to it. The back is nicely finished & it has turned legs, with casters. The top has been re-leathered. It's been antiqued & hand coloured, with gold tooling. This is a lovely desk & not a model I often come across.

Antique Georgian Style Flame Mahogany Small Knee Hole Desk

Nice quality small antique Georgian style knee-hole desk in mahogany with beautiful flame mahogany veneers all over& a crossbanded edge in I think rosewood. It has six drawers, with original brass handles, plus there's a cupboard under the kneehole, with fluted side pieces. The back is polished too & it sits on bracket feet. This is a very neat little desk. I've had similar ones in the past, but not as nice as this one.

Antique Georgian Style Inlaid Satin Wood Partners Desk

This fabulous desk is beautifully made & has a wonderful shape too. It's antique Georgian style, satinwood, with some fine inlay & a hand coloured tooled leather writing surface. This writing table is two sided, so it could be used as a partners desk. There are three drawers on the front, with locks, brass handles & the drawer bottoms are mahogany. These drawers are beautifully made with very fine dovetails. The drawers on the back are dummies. The top edge, the drawer fronts & the sides have some very fine crossbanding & inlay in what I believe is rosewood or satinwood. The legs are tapered & culminate in spade end feet. There are many other fine features, so please enlarge all of the images. At first glance, this writing table looks like high quality Edwardian, but I think it has been made more recently, although it's hard too tell. Either way, it's a one off & in a high class retail establishment in town, would command £4000-£5000.
