ENGLISH PARTNER'S DESK,early 20th century, mahogany. Tooled leather inset writing surface on rectangular molded-edge top; three aligned frieze drawers with bail pull handles; three-drawer paneled pedestals on plinth bases - 30 in. x 60 in. x 36 in. Estimate $800-1,200
The English Partner's Desk survives in very good condition, and appears with minor surface abrasions well appropriate to its age and use. A minor loss of wood, measuring 2 in. L., was sustained to one pedestal corner. Three of the nine locking mechanisms are missing, though these are not visible since the escutcheons have remained intact.
