A very beautiful burled walnut grain throughout this English Davenport desk.  The desk having a slant leather top which opens to an interior space with 2 pull out small drawers.  The back top with gallery hinges up to reveal ink well and pen space with slots for paper and envelopes.  The left side shows 4 ‘dummy’ drawers and the right side has 4 long drawers that open.  The Davenport is on 4 brass castors.

The grain of the wood is quite beautiful in this piece – varying light and dark throughout.  The interior space under the slant top is a perfect size for a laptop computer.

One drawer is stamped with the furniture maker :  James Shoolbred & Co.  – a company that started in the 1820’s on Tottenham Court Road in London and expanded in the 1860’s – eventually closing in the 1920’s.

Measures: 22 inches wide x 23 inches deep x 34 1/2 inches high (to top of gallery).
