A Victorian burr walnut piano top Davenport desk, with brass gallery back above pop up stationery compartment, with hinged lid enclosing fitted interior, above piano top with hinged lid enclosing pull-out fitted interior, with two silver plate and brass inkwells, with bank of four drawers flanked by four dummy drawers, width 57cm, depth 55cm, height 93cm.

Over all condition is fair, some areas with slight loss to the veneers, pop up action doesn't go any higher than the images show, but does have a fold up section at the top. However, the action will not stay down and top always pops back up when pushed down. Pull out slide is complete with lift up writing slope but the slope is warped and sometimes causes difficulty with opening the slide draw. One side with dummy drawers, but the side with actual draws has smooth runners but no keys are present.
