circa: 2000 width: 60 height: 31 length: 36 This antique style satinwood gillows desk is bench-made in England as a reproduction of a Georgian period antique. Every aspect of this writing desk is of the absolute highest quality. For instance, the satinwood looks great, with a nice color and very pronounced grain. Fine rosewood inlays along the drawer fronts and skirt complement the satinwood beautifully. The two locking drawers come equipped with solid brass hardware, which contrasts with the wood very nicely, and they also feature hand-cut dovetailed joints, which are a sign of fine craftsmanship. The top of this desk is a writing surface of antique style green leather bordered with embossing and hand-worked gold tooling. This desk sits on turned, fluted legs that complement the rounded corners and are also quite sturdy so there should be no concern about stability.
