( Desks are functional pieces of furniture and generally heavily
used throughout the years, hence why not many examples from
the 18th century have survived in any kind of sensible condition. 
This particular example has beautifully figured drawers and 
cupboard doors and the replacement brass handles have clearly
been in place for some time, are of the style it would originally 
have had and fit exceptionally well with the piece. The desk is 
also a good functional size for the modern home or office and 
not overpoweringly big like a lot that come to market. Also it 
handily breaks down into 3 sections, which many 18th century 
examples don't, making it easy to get into even the most 
challenging of environments )
