This is a form of furniture for which few American Federal period
examples are known. A literature search turned up no example in any public collection. The only other one I know of, I owned many years ago and it had major restoration. This knee-hole desk was made in New York City circa 1810-15. The quality and design are the finest as are the choice mahogany woods and veneers. It opens to a beautifully finished slant surface desk. It is in original structural condition with minor old veneer restoration.

Dimensions are: W. 36" H. 30" D. 20"

$ 9500.
