Description
This is a beautiful antique writing desk perfect for a study, living area, or office. It includes the original key which fits all eleven keyholes! There are four drawers under the mirror, three drawers under the desktop, six small drawers along the right side of the mirror behind the door on the column, three drawers with handles on the lower left side, three cubbies on the left side of the mirror behind the door on the column, and three pull-out shelves on the lower right side. The large finials on top of each column are not attached nor are they original to the piece, but they are included. This desk breaks down into five pieces: 1) the mirror, 2) the two columns connected to the piece on top of the desktop, 3) desktop, 4&5) base bottoms right and left.

Condition Notes: There are some scuff marks around the bottom; one small knob on a cubby drawer is partially gone; the finish is cracked on the desktop along the drawers; there is a mark on the surface under the mirror on the right side; some wood veneer is missing on the edges of the desktop; the mirror has some age spots.
