Description
A magnificent totally original late 19th Century (c.1890) English antique inlaid mahogany side table which opens to reveal a beautiful “pop up” writing desk, smoothly and satisfyingly rising into place with the action of the hinged top. The attractively time worn rich brown leather writing slope lifts to reveal a storage area with further compartmentalised storage to the rear. Finnigans produced the finest quality luggage and traveling accessories for wealthy clients throughout most of the 19th century. The piece features a bone nameplate to the front and brass patent mark to the rear.
