Located in Austin, Texas, this is an oversize beautiful antique mahogany wood partner's desk/table with a engraved leather top. It has never failed to elicit praise and admiration from business associates who see it for the first time. Interested buyers are welcome to arrange a viewing; please contact me directly. It has five working drawers, two on each of the long sides, and one at one end. It was dated as being circa 1850s-1860s from England and was brought to New Orleans. It has two modifications professionally done in New Orleans by Waldhorns. The two center legs are removable and were added in 1970 for additional support. Brass casters were added then as well to the four corner legs, but all but one caster have sheared off in various office moves since 2001. There are some pre-existing surface cracks that all pre-date its being purchased 40 years ago (nothing since). See photos. The buyer may want to have some light restoration work to the legs to either remove or replace the casters, hence the discount on starting bid price from original cost. The desk was purchased from Waldhorns Antiques in New Orleans in 1970 for $5000 and an appraised value could be much higher, possibly double have been advised, at retail prices. More photos can be sent to truly interested buyers via email. Have made a movie (.avi format) that is read more
