Block-Front Prospect Bureau Table (Kneehole Desk)

The façade of the rectangular case of drawers has a recessed central cupboard with tombstone panel door below a shallow drawer with scalloped front and full-width drawer at the top. Top drawer has a recessed center with flanking curved projections. These swellings continued down stacks of three additional graduated drawers. The case has a conforming top with thumbnail-molded edge and stands on six straight bracket feet with ogee scalloping in the front. Brasses appear original; the bottom 2 ¾” of front feet are replacements, as are the rear feet; new glue blocks inside the feet; otherwise good condition, and a rare object.
