Description

19" (48 cm.) 19"h. x 15"w. x 10"d. A pine wood slant front desk in country style has a narrow pencil drawer with notched carving above two wide drawers, each with simple dove-tailed construction, and resting upon bracket feet. The slant front opens to reveal a center cabinet with notched carving flanked by two pairs of two drawers. Carved bone knobs, inlays and faux key hole covers add decorations, and the drawers have hand-made cast brass heart-shaped pulls. Circa 1840, a very appealing and individual hand-crafted desk in well-preserved condition.
