This is very well made and is a useful size, the oval top has an inset tooled green leather writing surface. There are also lovely satinwood inlays around the top edge, on the drawer front, and running down the legs. The legs are tapered with spade end feet, and are supported by a stretcher for extra strength. The back is also nicely finished, so this can be used as a free standing item.

Take an enlarged look at the superb brass handles, which are original to this piece.

We have recently had this re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age.
