Charles Dickens desk
I copied this desk from a antique encyclopedia.
When I first saw the desk I loved it from the beginning.
The simplicity of the desk appealed to me.
I started with making a working drawing and beneath you can see the result.
The desk is made of lime-tree wood which I stained.
The Desk is an original Charles Dickens, it's a pedestal desk with an built-in slanting writing table. In the end of the 19th century this desk was as popular as the writer himself.
All the little drawers and the writing table can be opened.
A detail of the inlaid leather parts of the writing table.
