This listing is for a 19th Century walnut Davenport desk, featuring a sloped writing surface with a brown leather insert that's both tooled and practical. The desk's design includes a compartment behind the slope for small letters and pens, complete with a hidden section underneath. The slope lifts to disclose additional storage and various pigeon holes. On the right side, there's a bank of four drawers characterized by hand-cut dovetail joints and turned wooden handles. The left side mirrors this with four faux drawers, maintaining the desk's symmetrical aesthetic.

The Davenport desk is in great condition, noting some wear that includes losses on the edges and marks that align with its age and use, as detailed in the accompanying pictures. A notable characteristic is a shrinking split on the writing slope. These imperfections do not detract from the desk's charm or functionality, making it a splendid find for enthusiasts of historical furniture.
