The Carlton House desk with its novel design was presented as a gift to the Prince Regent (later King George IV). It looked elegant and light, but still had plenty of storage, it was immediately copied and became very popular.
This model is a faithful copy and has been textured in Satinwood with a bold rosewood inlay. It has a total of thirteen drawers of assorted sizes, and one lockable cupboard.
NOTE: To prevent unsightly white rings, never place a wine glass directly on the polished wood.
Named after English designer and cabinetmaker George Hepplewhite whose designs in "The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterers Guide" were published posthumously in 1788. The Hepplewhite style is neoclassic and was reproduced in the United States particularly in the Carolinas, Maryland, New England, New York and Virginia. It is characterized by a delicate appearance, tapered legs and the use of contrasting veneers and inlay.
