The use of exotic veneers and inlays typical of the Georgian period are all included in this desk. Santos Rosewood and quartered Walnut banding are accented by Satinwood and other rare species of inlay to add exceptional interest. Special details include hinged butterfly brackets to support the extended leaves and two fully functional drawers for holding supplies. The gracefully swept legs ending in reeded feet are capped with solid brass rosettes, making this a superb example of this late 18th century English design.
