To the rear of the desk space a central drawer and cupboard are flanked either side by four cubbies and further three drawers with typical brass pulls. The kingwood drawers run deep and pushing the top of the central cupboard door, decorated with inlaid conch in mint green oval cartouche, the 'up and over' action reveals three further shelves.
