Below the fine display shelf at the top is the original half-moon shaped mirror that is in wonderful antique condition.The fall front desk portion is graced with fabulous carved scrolls, a shell, bell flowers and carved roaring Lions heads and opens to reveal a charming writing desk area with vintage replacement felt and storage cubbies nestled at the back, the key works the lock for the desk just fine and the height of the writing surface to the floor measures 26 3/4 inches. Below the desk portion are two burl front storage drawers and each has brass pulls that where replaced some time ago but compliment the desk nicely...and finally a large display shelf rests at the bottom between the four carved legs, there is an old repair to the side rail portion on the left side of the base that seems solid and tight and does not affect the stability off this desk at all.
