From 1809, the London-based company “Morgan & Sanders” produced this (patented in 1807) model of a [globe secretary](https://www.derstandard.at/story/1376535120874/dekorative-inkonsequenz). Unpretentious, simple, and with a strong awareness of materials: these are the essential design principles when it comes to furniture from the period.
The English Globe Writing Desk has a flawless construction and an outstanding design, crafted from mahogany and featuring classically inspired gift bronze ornaments and inlays of luxurious ebony. Looking like a vintage writing service desk, this globe-shaped antique is extremely beautiful but also really functional, opening up to reveal small drawers and compartments.
Three sections of the ivory handled drawers and arched compartments are veneered in maple and feature gift-accented Doric columns, and the writing surface of the desk is lined with leather and extends from a pull out slide.
