A stunning kneehole desk exuding stately George II elegance with gorgeous figured orange-brown mahogany veneers. The rectangular banded top is nicely beveled around the edge, overhanging a slide-out writing surface with a green leather inlay over a long drawer with swing handles and shapely openwork plaques. The kneehole is backed with a single cabinet door and a bracketed apron, flanked by stacks of three small drawers on either side. The whole is raised on classic bracket feet, completing the design.
