carved wooden desk

By mcoleman, 18 April, 2013
Description

This desk is solid wood, I do not know the type but may be mahogany.  It has hand carvings of the flor-de-lys around the sides and on the drawers.  The handles are metal with a spiral feature and secured with screws from the inside.  The drawers are not dovetailed but may be secured with dowels.  The bottom beam is fitted through both end supports(legs) and secured with a dowel on the outside of each end support.  The desk is rustic looking and has a spanish feel to it, however this may be because I obtained this desk in South Florida and has been with me for about 12 years. It is in excellent shape other than typical wear and tear from age and usage.
