{"product_id":"carved-davenport-desk","title":"Carved Davenport Desk","description":"\u003cp\u003eA well-chosen desk can bring useful workspace and traditional character to a study, living room or home office. This carved Davenport desk combines a compact footprint with generous storage, making it an attractive and practical piece of period-style furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe desk features a shaped writing top with a newly fitted brown leather writing surface, opening to reveal a spacious leather-lined interior with two smaller drawers. Four drawers are accessed from the right-hand side and extend across the full width of the desk, while the corresponding fronts on the left are decorative. A particularly interesting feature is the concealed pen-and-ink compartment: the two lower drawer faces inside the writing compartment are false, allowing the unit on the right-hand side to pull straight out before hinging through 90 degrees to sit conveniently alongside the desk. Further details include carved floral decoration, scrolling supports, turned feet with castors and a working key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe previous finish has been stripped back before multiple coats of hard-wearing lacquer were applied, refreshing the timber while retaining the variation and character expected from an older piece. The writing-surface leather has been replaced, and new leather has also been fitted inside the main compartment. Some age-related marks, colour variation and signs of previous use remain, in keeping with the desk's character and history. The desk is constructed from oak with flamed walnut veneer, while the drawer bases are made from plywood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its unusual concealed fittings, rich flamed walnut figuring and decorative carved details, this Davenport offers considerably more than a conventional writing desk. It is a distinctive piece that provides useful storage and workspace while retaining the charm and ingenuity of traditional furniture design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[dimensions][w]58[\/w][h]79(120)[\/h][d]54[\/d][\/dimensions]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trade Furniture | British","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57434243957116,"sku":"RGK005","price":410.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1526\/7737\/files\/RGK005a.jpg?v=1789138374","url":"https:\/\/restoredfurniture.co.uk\/products\/carved-davenport-desk","provider":"Betel Restored Furniture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
