Fine Chippendale Period Satinwood and Marquetry Desk
Located in Lymington, GB
A very fine Chippendale-period satinwood and marquetry desk. English, George III-period, circa 1770. It is rare today to find an 18th-century satinwood and marquetry-inlaid desk of this quality. (Most offered on the market are 19th/ 20th century). Major, period satinwood pieces have become almost unobtainable. The superbly-controlled and delicate marquetry inlays are reminiscent of the fine decoration on the famous Diana and Minerva Commode by Chippendale at Harewood House...
