FOR SALE UNTIL THE END OF FEBRUARY...A very handsome and substantial Mahogany Chippendale Style Slant Top Desk. My research indicates it was made in Massachusettes c.1750-1780. The slant top has a carved concave fan in it's center. The body of this desk has four full graduated drawers above a stepped out base with a central fan at the apron. The front feet are ogee bracket feet, while the rear feet are inset.

The top is dovetailed to the single side panels, each of which have beautiful age-related cracks. The top drawer is slightly inset and flanked by pull-out front supports. The desk has brass Chippendale pulls and escutcheons all over.

The interior is fitted with five pigeonholes and eight drawers with stringing. The central pigeonhole is flanked by two half columns fronting two secret drawers. The back is composed of three rough-hewn panels attached with hand-forged nails. This desk appears to be in very good condition. 43 x 42 x 22"
