\n This is an antique ship’s purser’s desk. An English, burr walnut Davenport writing table in the Beidermeier taste, dating to the Victorian period, circa 1880.<\/p>\n

Exquisite craftsmanship with superb colour and figuring
Displays a desirable aged patina and in very good order
Burr walnut stocks present striking grain interest
Rich caramel hues dazzle beneath a wax polish finish<\/p>\n

Low shaped back rest adorns the top, with a useful butler’s grasp
Drawer to centre dressed with a pair of circular brass pulls and lock — key absent
Inset leather skiver residing within the drawer, in a tasteful dark red
Skiver lifts and adjusts for angle upon a rack of ratchet teeth, with storage below<\/p>\n

Extending upon lopers, the drawer conceals a small pen drawer to one side
Turned pillar supports to the front, opposite a panelled rear fascia
Demi-lune plinth of deep proportion, with a generous kneehole
The whole standing upon a quartet of squat bun feet<\/p>\n

This is a striking antique ship’s purser’s desk, with beautiful burr walnut figuring and wonderful colour. Pleasingly presented with a suite of useful functions and of attractive form. Solid joints and construction, delivered waxed, polished and ready for the home.<\/p>\n
