This extravagant rosewood writing desk was recently crafted in Holland and imported to our showroom here in Atlanta, GA, USA. From the materials to the labor involved, this writing desk exhibits the finest in antique furniture-making quality. For instance, that the desk is comprised principally of rosewood is a mark of distinctness and quality, since rosewood is a rare wood normally reserved for fine inlays. Indeed, the gorgeous rosewood displays an incredibly rich complexion and highly distinct grain, both of which are complemented by burl elm and satinwood string inlays and elegant solid-brass gilding and hardware. The leather, too, looks very lovely against the rosewood, while stylish sabre legs and a shaped apron grant the piece a fluid, delicate appearance. The writing surface of beige, gold-tooled leather is not only beautiful but also useful, since leather makes a writing surface far superior to wood, metal or glass. This writing desk also provides plenty of storage space with a total of six drawers, the largest of which features dovetailed joints. Because this writing desk is relatively new, there is no wear to speak of and structural integrity remains excellent; the most outstanding instance of wear can be found on one of the corners, which is depicted in one of the pictures accompanying this listing. Without a doubt, this exquisite Dutch rosewood writing desk would make a fine antique style furniture addition to any home or office, so take this opportunity to make it yours today!
