Description
An Anglo-Chinese padouk metamorphic architect’s table, this apparently simple table is an infinitely versatile desk. The rectangular top has a moulded edge. It opens to create a large reading slope and encloses two candle arms. The front section has split legs so that the entire frieze pulls out to reveal a baize covered writing slope which can be used flat or tilted up on a rachet. Concealed under the slope is a drawer fitted with one large and several smaller compartments. Anglo-Chinese, circa 1780.
