A Fine Quality Regency Period Mahogany Desktop

Supports And Scrolling Ends To Gallery Incorporating
Handles Above Beaded Moulding And Original

(Originally designed to sit on top of a desk and house
a selection of books which can then be easily accessed
this charming book stand is of exceptional quality. It is also
a really good size allowing more practical use than many
we have seen. The spindle turnings to the gallery are
extremely fine and the choice of mahogany high end with
a lovely patina and figuring to it. It also retains its original
turned feet and would be a wonderful addition to any desk)
