High End & Elegant French Louis XV Desk, Beautifully Finished on All Sides | PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR PRICE

This beautiful early 20th Century French Louis XV Revival mahogany desk, with a reverse breakfront façade, is sturdily supported by elegantly shaped cabriole legs with delicate carved scrollwork beneath the kneehole, and crowned by a shaped three-sided gallery — it is meant to be viewed from all sides.

The warm mahogany has mellowed beautifully over the years and displays a stunning flame mahogany finish figuring across all six drawer fronts, each front further enlivened by mother-of-pearl oval escutcheons with a pair of pretty golden keys operating all of the six drawers. The inners of the drawers are dovetail joined and solid oak, reflecting the high quality of the desk’s construction.

The details continue throughout the whole piece: particularly attractive are the fluted corner stiles which flow seamlessly into the curvy cabriole legs below, creating a continuous vertical line from the top of the desk to the floor. The recessed kneehole is framed by delicate carved scroll brackets, a detail which softens the silhouette.

The three-sided gallery which crowns the desk is finished with decorative scrolled terminals at either end, and finial points on the rear corners. Unlike many desks of this type, the rear is also beautifully finished, allowing it to be placed in the centre of a room should one wish, rather than against a wall — particularly lovely so that you can face into a room, and perhaps towards a window for your at-home work day, creating a room divider.

This beauty, while intended as a writing desk, would equally be useful as a dressing table. I’m sure you’ll find a spot for it!

DIMENSIONS (cm)
143 w 66 d overall (including legs)
130 w 60 d writing area inside the gallery
78.5 h writing surface
89 h to top of gallery
Kneehole: 63 w 62 h

CONDITION
Excellent and sturdy, and has been exceptionally well looked after over the past century, but please note this is very lightly pre-loved with very light age-related wear. The top surface is nearly blemish free.

Beautiful Blonde Solid Oak Tallboy with Gorgeous Decorative Detail | PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR PRICE

This is a gorgeous tall solid oak chest with two short drawers above three full-width drawers. It dates to the early 20th century — solid, sturdy and beautifully made, as pieces were during the Edwardian era — made to last. It has now been empathetically stripped back and then resealed, revealing its beautiful light blonde oak grain once more that gives it a contemporary edge.

While the decorative moulding, beneath the edged top with shaped raised backsplash, is arguably the star of this piece, below, the chest stands on turned oak legs (united by a stretcher base) which are elegantly carved. Other details further enliven the unit, such as drawer fronts that are beautifully chamfer-edged and adorned with original detailed steel drop handles and brass escutcheons.

It’s a stunning chest of drawers. If you’ve been looking for a piece with both detailed texture and a modern appeal, then you might need to stop looking any further…

DIMENSIONS
99 w 50 d 109 h cm to surface (119 h cm to top of backsplash)

PRICE
R13,450

CONDITION
Excellent and sturdy. It’s been stripped back and resealed but please note this is lightly preloved, with lovely little anomalies that accompany a piece of age.

It’s a beauty, with an elegantly feminine silhouette.

Elegant Georgian Low Linen Press in Flame Mahogany | PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR PRICE

🎥 Videos in last two frames

This is a beautiful and finely-made, late Georgian/ Regency era mahogany low linen press raised on beautifully outward-turning shaped bracket feet with undulating front apron.

It’s finished with stunning book-matched flame mahogany doors, with the classic vertical brass cover strip and escutcheons beautifully enlivening the design through contrasting against the rich finish.

The doors unlock and open to reveal a single shelf with a lovely ribbed front edge; a single wide drawer below with lightly chamfered edge runs smoothly and is fronted by nicely turned wooden k***s.

It’s a beautifully-made, rich piece that I’m sure you’ll find a place for: why not use it as a drinks, or guest room cabinet — or as an entertainment cabinet, locking away the electronics when they’re not in use?

DIMENSIONS cm:
106.5 w 51 d 121.5 h

CONDITION :
Excellent and sturdy. It’s been very well looked after, but please note this is lightly pre loved.
Top of back panel has a couple of neat holes in it — great if you want to use this unit as an entertainment cabinet — hide away the TV or record collection.
Key with tassle supplied for doors;
Lock present in drawer, but no key supplied.
