An outstanding Victorian davenport desk in solid walnut, featuring stunning burr walnut veneers and presented in excellent antique condition. Its distinctive piano-shaped top lifts to reveal a compartmentalised interior, complete with original adjustable leather writing surface, two small drawers concealing a hidden release mechanism for the pop-up section, a pen tray, and an ink pot compartment. To the right, four graduated drawers offer practical storage, each constructed with traditional dovetail joints and finished with original turned handles. The left side mirrors the arrangement with matching dummy drawers, maintaining visual balance. Fully panelled and veneered to the back, this handsome piece can be freestanding and admired from all angles. With rich colouring, exceptional patina, and a host of cleverly integrated features, this davenport is both highly functional and visually striking — a superb addition to any home or office setting.
