About the Item

A fine English writing table or console desk of mahogany from England, from the late 19th century, featuring a rectangular inset embossed leather top over a frieze of two drawers - each drawer with knob pulls - and standing on turned legs with rolling casters of porcelain and brass. By Jas Shoolbred and Company Dimensions: H 30 1/2 in x W 42 in x D 21.25 in James Shoolbred and Co. (aka Jas Shoolbred) were established in the 1820s at 155 Tottenham Court Road. It was originally a drapers supplying the furniture trade. In the late 1860s/early 1870s the company began designing, manufacturing and selling high quality furniture, of their own design. Their sophisticated designs referenced Regency aesthetics which were informed by antiquity (Greek/Roman styles). The company's sales catalogue features guides to home owners about how to put room sets together to achieve a desirable aesthetic, 'a guide to good taste'. In the 1880s, Shoolbred had opened the city's first large department store on Tottenham Court Road, London. In the mid 1880s Schoolbred was granted a Royal Warrant, testament to the quality of their furniture. The company ceased trading in 1931.
