Victorian Walnut Davenport

Victorian Burr Walnut Davenport Desk, circa 1870-80.

Due to the thinness and delicate nature of burr walnut veneers, many Victorian walnut veneered objects have sustained severe veneer damage. This davenport was in good condition with minor losses and lifting sections of veneer.

Treatment included securing loose sections of veneer and replacing lost sections.
