Edwardian Style Mahogany Library Desk

This is a large, rectangular library desk or writing table, likely crafted in the late 19th to early 20th century (Edwardian period) or a high-quality mid-century reproduction in that style. The piece is constructed from mahogany or a similar rich hardwood, featuring a deep reddish-brown finish. The table surface is inset with a dark, possibly leather or faux-leather writing pad with gold tooling around the perimeter, though it is currently heavily obscured by modern items. The front apron contains three drawers, each fitted with classic brass bail pull handles. The legs are slender and tapered, featuring ring-turned detailing near the top joinery, which suggests a Neo-Classical influence. Regarding condition, the wood shows a natural patina with some visible surface scuffs and general wear consistent with regular use as a workstation. The hardware appears intact, though the brass shows minor oxidation. The length of the table spans across three windows, indicating a substantial size of approximately 60 to 72 inches, making it a significant piece of functional furniture.
