We are pleased to be offering today this wonderful, heavily carved barley twist lion head double drawer writing desk dating from the 1890s in beautiful condition. Every part of this desk is intricately carved, including the rectangular top, skirts, round corner posts on the legs, and across the drawers. The desk features large lion heads as handles on the drawers, and the front of the desk has lion heads as simulated drawers. The desk is finished in a dark oak stain, adding to its striking appearance.
The overall size is 54 inches wide, 30 inches deep, and 31 inches high. The top has a couple of lamination seams that are not cracks, just lines. The desk is supported by heavy barley twist posts and a barley twist post cross stretcher for added strength.
