The beauty of a smartly styled, Gothic-era kneehole or pedestal desk is that it allows you to tuck your legs beneath it for comfort. With origins in the late 17th century, this distinctive Design Toscano-exclusive replica with its fluted gadroon balustrade legs and floral acanthus embellishments on the pedestal stretchers and front apron hails from the Renaissance Revival style of the 1880’s. Over four full feet of writing surface stretches lavishly atop three flush-mounted drawers flamboyantly flanked by ornately hand-carved lions heads with teeth bearing metal rings. Whether it serves in a library, entry or office, this Italian Medieval mahogany desk is stylishly distinctive enough to demand its own attention.
