Sold for £450
Estimated at £250 - £350


 

Replaced leather top, so generally good condition with some minor scratches. Rosewood varies slightly in colour with some watermarks? The desk is faded particularly around the verso and the sides (see image). With key. Some minor scuffs and small bruising consistent with age. Otherwise good.

We cannot guarantee a reply to any requests made within 48 hours of the start of the auction. The absence of a Condition Report from a lot does not mean that the lot is in perfect condition.
