Figured Walnut George II 18th Century Kneehole Desk. Circa 1740, England
A Fine and Rare Figured Walnut George II 18th Century Kneehole Desk. Circa 1740, England.
The superb age patinated quarter veneered figured walnut top is bordered by a fine holly and ebony stringing, cross-banded, a further stringing of holly and box, cross banded again, and edged with cross-grain ovolo mouldings. Below the brushing slide which is a very unusual and rare feature for a kneehole desk, sits a long oak lined drawer faced with book-matched figured walnut. Similarly, six oak lined drawers bearing their original locks surround the central cupboard which opens on its original shaped and engraved H-hinges to reveal a fitted shelf.
It should be noted that this is an extremely rare example in the most exceptional condition, of superb colour and well patinated throughout.
Condition
Good. Wear consistent with age and use. Sensational colour and patination.
