Chippendale Desk New England Cherry

Early 1800’s Country Chippendale Drop Front Desk. This really is a little beauty, made of Cherry with a super nice grain & figuring in the wood & having a fantastic rich surface patina. This desk is completely made by hand of course & the beauty feature is the nice small size, I’ll get back to that in a minute. This little beauty has nice small & large dovetail construction; the shapely bracket base is all original with some minor small restoration, Chamfered back boards & drawer bottoms. The handsome brass gallery is not original to the top but really works well, only enhancing the overall greatness, the brass drawer pulls are period brass but not the original, I believe this desk would have had simple bail drawer pulls & they would be easy to find & put on the desk. The drop front surface is in good working order & the interior is fitted with the cubby holes & three small drawers. Underneath the drop front are three graduated full drawers with chamfered bottoms as well.

The desk measures 37 5/8” high to the top & including the brass gallery it measures 40” high

34 ½” wide

15” deep at the widest point

7 ½” wide very top desk top.

This desk is a real & genuine New England fine antique made sometime between 1790-1820.It is a good investment & completely useable, it is sturdy & strong.
