Exquisite Painted Lady’s Writing Desk in the Chinese Taste c. 1800 - 42½"

A petite English writing cabinet from circa 1800, painted in green lacquer with hand-painted scenes, featuring a mahogany-red interior with pigeonholes and drawers. It stands on an elegant painted stand with turned legs and an X-form stretcher.

• The piece dates from the late Georgian period and reflects the era’s fascination with East Asian decorative arts.
• The cabinet remains in good, timeworn condition consistent with age, with a noted split to the bottom of the frieze drawer.
