Gilded Writing Desk
This past winter my wife and I watched the entire Jane Austen series offered up on PBS . Seeing all those Jane Austen films in great British period settings, made me think how challenging it would be to design and build a piece that might sit well in at least one modest room in one of those stories….I decided on a Writing Desk as per the situation of Fitzwilliam Darcy. The design is not a reproduction of any particular piece. But I’ll say that my goal was to produce a piece that has the look and feel of something you might find in one of those settings.
-
The desk is made from Walnut, Walnut veneer, and Sapele.The design is dominated by gilded carvings, edge treatments and moldings.
-
The back side is a set of three veneered panels in molded frames. Gilded arrow carvings encircle the framework.
-
The corners of the desk feature a double curved panel in a bold supported framework. The panel has an inlaid design.
-
The sides feature a walnut veneer panel in molded frame with gilded scroll and arrow carvings.
