A late 19th/ Early 20th Century Mahogany Veneered Carlton House Desk. Featuring a curved back section edged in ribbon moulding, hinged curved down swept “U” shape lids enclosing partitions which hold an ivories label from prestigious London cabinet makers “W.J.MANSELL LTD/ANTIQUE & MODERN FURNITURE/266 & 266A FULHAM ROAD SW”.
