This antique desk is visually stunning due to the exceptional Danish craftsmanship and rococo (2nd period) style. The superb details include 3 birch veneer drawers, cabriole legs with inlaid marquetry, carving, and a sculpted desk top with scalloped skirt below. This stunning desk has been professionally restored adding to the rich, elegant look. Any knicks, scratches or old cracks are a reflection of generations of use that add to the authentic aged character of this classic desk. The original leather desk top is in tact and shows age related signs of wear including water stains and wear around the gold embossed trim. It will serve well as a writing desk or unique library table. Please enlarge the photos to appreciate the beauty of the wood.
