mid victorian burr walnut ladies writing table/desk

Circa 1870, mid Victorian burr walnut kidney shaped ladies writing table/desk, with the makers name ‘R.Fisher & Co, Upholsters’ stamped in the drawers. The top is veneered in burr walnut and has the lovely original Moroccan leather in the centre, which is plain with tooling on the edge. In the centre at the front is a recess with a carved Rococo style apron. On either side are bow fronted drawers with turned knob handles and stylish escutcheons. The liners of the drawers are mahogany. The whole piece stands on a spectacular carved base, with turned and fluted ends with carved acanthus leaves united by a large turned carved stretcher, on four well carved cabriole legs with full relief foliate carving and flowers on the toes, on white porcelain castors. Excellent colour.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
