Antique Queen Anne Style Desk Armchair

Antique Queen Anne Style Desk ArmchairAn interesting Queen Anne early Georgian style mahogany writing armchair England, early 20th century.

A virtually identical armchair in walnut was in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Other similar period examples are illustrated in Adam Bowett, Early Georgian Furniture,
