The writing desk, painstakingly crafted from quality walnut, brass, and panels of wicker, boasts a long history of careful maintenance. The dual-toned wicker, initially colored with brownish aniline, has evolved beautifully over time, responding to the subtle influences of sunlight and aging, resulting in a charming alteration of color. The preservation of the piece focused on refreshing rather than changing, ensuring the original patina was retained as much as possible. This piece tells a clear story of respect for the craftsmanship, a commitment to preservation, and an appreciation for the natural aging process
