About the Item
A fine and early Regency period rosewood writing desk set beautifully decorated with delicate mother-of-pearl foliate inlay and complete with its original cut-glass inkwells. This elegant desk piece represents the refined taste and craftsmanship of the early 19th century when exotic woods and intricate inlay were prized in fashionable English interiors.
The sloped writing surface is richly inlaid with scrolling floral motifs enhanced by ebony stringing and a central gilt bronze carrying handle of refined Regency design. Two original square cut-glass inkwells each with a brass screw-top lid sit neatly within recessed compartments on the upper tier. Below, a full-width drawer provides storage for pens, sealing wax, blotting paper or correspondence.
Crafted from well-figured rosewood the piece retains a beautiful mellow patina that contrasts elegantly with the iridescence of the mother-of-pearl. Raised on four small bun feet the writing set has a charming and highly decorative presence, making it a desirable piece for collectors of Regency writing accessories.
