The top surface is decorated with parquetry panels, and the back features five fake drawers. The writing table is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use and adorns a rich, light walnut patina. This Classic, Baroque desk would make a beautiful statement placed in the middle of a study or library. All locks in working condition; five keys included. Knee opening: 19.5" W x 25" H
