Antique Kidney Desk with Leather Top

        The kidney desk originated from a table with a kidney-shaped top.  This design, often referred to as a haricot, first appeared as a writing or dressing-table during the Louis XV period (1715-74) in France before being introduced into England in the late 18th century. The kidney table evolved to incorporate drawers and often small shelves for books and thus became the favored knee-hole form desk of the Sheraton and Victorian periods. Its practicality of shape and design as well as its pleasing and innovative aesthetics made it very popular. The finest examples of this style of desk were made by Gillows of Lancaster in the late 18th century until the mid-19th century.
        This desk has three drawers and features a built-in leather desk pad to  provide an elevated sense of luxury and style to make your workspace professional and organized whether you are working in an office or at home. Leather desk pads provide a softer and more comfortable desk protector solution than other metal or polymer desk top pads.
