This unusual English leather top writing table stands on elegant turned legs with the original brass cup castors and retains a beautiful rich mahogany colour and patina throughout.
The desk features a hand tooled leather inset top with gilt and blind decoration together with an unusual pull out leather writing slide providing additional workspace.
