George Walton. Arts & Crafts Walnut Desk with Secret Drawers & Heart Escutcheons
-
Description
Depth: 32" || Creator: George Walton || George Walton. A rare and important Arts and Crafts walnut desk almost identical to the desk Walton designed in 1898 for Sidney Leetham for the morning room in elm bank, a major interior commission in York, England.
This desk is a complex hybrid design. The overhanging top with central arched cupboard with twin heart escutcheon to the S-shaped drawer fronts, flanked by hidden upstanding conforming drawers, that lock when the cupboard doors are shut. Four drawers to the upper section with dream ivorene plastic rectangular inlays and brass drop handles. The original leather writing area with secret pen compartment to the right hand side. The central lower drawer with shaped apron below and flanked by deeper compartmental drawers with skirt shaped brass escutcheon. The whole on slender tapering legs and to the back there discreetly sits an ingenious secondary work station with a drop down leather writing area with files and with the desk positioned against the wall it might become a place to hide treasured objects. Provenance : With The Fine Art Society in 1989. - More Information
