Simply the height of
elegance. This beautiful Bespac desk has
been painstakingly covered in sheets of 23 carat
gold leaf, and accessorized with incredibly
detailed pieces. The curved desk features
three opening drawers, each trimmed with delicate
carving and tiny brass handles.

From left to right, desk
accessories include an ornate letter holder with
tiny pieces of mail waiting to be read, ornate
frame with a portrait of the lady's special
gentleman, open letter, desk set with two
inkwells, blotter, feather pen and holder, all on
matching tray, diary, framed portrait of child,
tray of Victorian calling cards, elegant gold fan
shaped vase with arrangement of creme roses and
oval shaped metal trinket box.

But wait! What fun is
it to have drawers that really open if you don't
fill them. Our "ever so tidy" lady
of the house has placed correspondence in the left
drawer, a calendar and set of stationery in the
center, and family photos in the right hand
drawer.

In miniatures,
it is all in the details. The diary has
printed pages, and when the lid to the trinket box
is removed, you will find tiny curled rolls of
postage stamps.

The letters in
the letter holder are reduced from real antique
envelopes, with period stamps, addresses, and
cancellations! The letter is a reduction of
a real letter written to Elizabeth Barrett
Browning from you-know-who....

The
desk comes with a matching chair that has also
been gold leafed. Note that the gold leafing
used on this set is NOT the inexpensive craft
store variety, but the finest 23 carat leaf
available.
Chair has been re-upholstered
in a lovely creme dupoini silk fabric, trimmed
with a delicate matching silk cording. |
