George III Mahogany Tambour Writing Table
-
Description
A very elegant writing table as popular in the 1780s and 90s as now and finished on all sides, that would be positioned in a drawing room and was often considered a ladies desk.
This table is particularly interesting as the writing surface extends to provide a greater surface area. The table retains its original leather, finish and has been untouched for the last century.
