painted carlton house desk sheraton regency desks

You are viewing an exquisite Carlton house style desk hand crafted from the finest satinwood and with some very intricate hand painted work on all surfaces. The main structure is satinwood which has a lovely blonde finish to the wood.

Hopefully the photos illustrate the intricacy of the hand painted Sheraton motifs including lyres, floral garlands, arabesques and reefs. It's stunning. This is further accentuated by the rosewood banding.The amount of craftmanship that has gone into this is breathtaking if you imagine each piece of design has to be cut from the softer fruitwoods and then embedded into the main structure of the desk. You can only imagine how long this would take to achieve for a piece like this.Just look at all the cubby holes, drawes and compartments. Plus the green tooled leather writing surface.The term 'Carlton House' has become a popular phrase to describe a writing table with a low superstructure that encloses the sides of the writing area as well as the back.The Prince of Wales, later George IV, commissioned a table of this model in the 1790s for Carlton House. The desk has a leather topped writing area surrounded by small drawers, cupboards and storage areas. There are also five larger drawers to the front of the desk so there is ample storage space on this piece. Each of the drawers also has more inlay work, as do the legs and the sides.This would make for a stylish piece for your home, offered as it is in perfect condition. We are expecting a lot of interest in this piece which we were lucky enough to buy from a private house call near Hyde Park, London.Dimensions are in cm:
