Antique Drop Front Desk
The antique drop front desk or often called a side-by-side desk is a late 19th Century Victorian period furniture invention. The desk combines a bookcase or curio with a small writing desk and drawers. Indeed these types of antique secretary desks are often seen in oak. This antique model is elevated with solid mahogany, a prime and rare wood valued for its strength and beauty. This antique drop front desk is rare too, because of its intricate inlay work of satinwood, rosewood and mother of pearl within the desk surface. Feathered glass on the cabinet door, fitted with a fine mahogany overlay, also adds drama and interest to the piece of antique furniture.

Beautiful bohemian style.
