Desk and Bookcase

John Townsend

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a wooden desk and bookcase. The top half of the piece has two doors with curved edges and small handles in the center. The doors are made of wood and have a reddish-brown color. There are two small finials on either side of the top, and a larger finial in the center. The bottom half has a slanted writing surface that is closed, and six drawers with brass handles. The drawers are arranged in two columns of three, with the handles being ornate and having a floral design. The entire piece is made of a reddish-brown wood and has a classic, traditional design. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The desk and bookcase are by John Townsend.
