Desk Section of a Desk and Bookcase

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a dark wood desk section of a desk and bookcase with a hinged writing surface at the top that is closed. The writing surface is rectangular and has a small decorative gold hardware piece at the center. Below the writing surface are 10 drawers, arranged in two columns of five drawers each, with a slightly curved divider between the columns. The drawers have rounded edges and small gold hardware pieces on the front. The desk has a curved base with short legs. The entire piece appears to be made of dark wood with a glossy finish. The background of the image is white. The piece appears to be from the Queen Anne period. Searching for a Queen Anne-style walnut or cherry wood desk with a slanted writing surface and 10 drawers with ornate gold drawer pulls would yield results for this piece by artist.
