Description from the seller

Delicious Davenport in walnut burl and early 19th-century inlay
A small English piece that can be used as a desk or as a superb display piece. It is rarely seen with such refined quality.
Entirely in walnut burl. Wood inlays are found throughout the piece. A sign of its fine quality. The right side has 4 drawers. Each drawer has mahogany sides and back. A sign of quality on the left, the front is covered by four false drawers in the same spirit as their counterparts. The top features a slant fall-front lined with leather. This reveals a storage compartment with two drawers.
The top also features a card tray covered by a bronze gallery, equipped with rollers; shipped with insured and trackable postage.
