A particularly attractive Edwardian inlaid rosewood lady’s writing table, dating to circa 1900.
The rectangular top is centred by a green leather writing surface with gilt-tooled border and flanked by a pair of hinged demi-lune side flaps, which open to provide a generously sized writing surface. The timber is finely decorated throughout with delicate floral and foliate marquetry and line inlay.
To the rear is a raised, hinged stationery compartment with a pierced brass gallery, opening to reveal a fitted interior with divisions for correspondence, stationery and writing implements.
The frieze is fitted with a single long drawer, similarly decorated with floral marquetry and retaining its brass handles.
Raised on elegant square section swept legs, terminating in brass castors.
A charming and unusually well-appointed Edwardian writing table, with particularly pretty marquetry decoration and the added practicality of its extending side flaps and fitted stationery compartment.
English, circa 1900.
