Antique 5ft 6" Victorian 6 Drawer Partners Writing Library Table Desk 19th C

This gorgeous antique Victorian partners library table is crafted from beautiful flame mahogany and dates from Circa 1860.

It features a striking inset green leather writing surface that has beautiful hand tooled and gilded impressed decoration. It is raised on four baluster legs that are elegantly turned and terminate in their original white porcelain and brass castors.

It is a partners desk and has six frieze drawers, three on each side, all fitted with their original and decorative oval brass handles. They are solid mahogany lined, have hand cut dovetails and are perfectly sized for all the stationary you could possibly need, making this desk not just a symbol of refinement but a practical furnishing as well.

Complete with working locks and six keys.
 
It is finished on all sides so that it can stand freely in the middle of a room, making it extremely suitable for a large home or office.

Buston Hall

A Grade II Listed Georgian country house with two annexes, coastal views, and over four acres of gardens and paddocks. Positioned amidst the unspoiled landscapes of the Northumbrian Heritage Coast, this magnificent Grade II Listed Georgian country house—once part of the Duke of Northumberland’s estate—boasts far-reaching views across the National Trust dunes at Buston Links, extending towards the Alnmouth estuary and the North Sea. With lovingly maintained gardens and paddock extending to over four acres, the property also includes two annexes, offering additional flexibility and potential within this wonderfully scenic setting.

 




Flame Mahogany
Thomas Sheraton - 18th century furniture designer, once characterized mahogany as "best suited to furniture where strength is demanded as well as a wood that works up easily, has a beautiful figure and polishes so well that it is an ornament to any room in which it may be placed." Matching his words to his work, Sheraton designed much mahogany furniture. The qualities that impressed Sheraton are particularly evident in a distinctive pattern of wood called "flame mahogany."

The flame figure in the wood is revealed by slicing through the face of the branch at the point where it joins another element of the tree.
