Description
This is a handsome antique oak davenport desk which dates to the Victorian era.
It is a distinctive looking piece which is perfect for use in an office or home study. The davenport is solid, well-made and heavy and will make a nice alternative to a traditional desk. The top is fitted with a sloping lid inset with a piece of tooled green leather and to the back is a small decorative backplate. The left-hand side of the davenport is fitted with four spacious drawers ornately carved with green man masks which form the handles. The opposing side has four dummy drawers. The sloping top is supported by flanking barley twist supports. The wood has a natural looking waxed finish.
