EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning desk dating back to the late 18th century. Crafted with exquisite detail, this piece is made from mahogany, zebrawood, and white pine, showcasing the masterful craftsmanship of its creator Felix Huntington (1749-1823) or someone closely associated with him. The dimensions of this remarkable desk measure 109.8x112.5x56 cm. Currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago in Illinois, USA, this extraordinary piece was generously gifted to the museum by the Antiquarian Society through the Jessie Spalding Landon Fund. Its historical significance and artistic value make it an invaluable addition to their collection. The intricate design features multiple drawers and compartments meticulously carved into the woodwork. Each drawer provides ample storage space while adding visual interest to the overall composition. The combination of different woods adds depth and richness to its appearance. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the functionality of this antique desk. It serves as a testament to both fine craftsmanship and practicality that has stood the test of time for over two centuries. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time, marveling at an era where furniture was more than just utilitarian objects but true works of art that adorned living spaces with elegance and sophistication.
