Navigator's Writing Desk With Leather Top by Authentic Models

Travelers and seafarers of yore had to be resourceful in order to survive. Desks on board ships had to be cleared and stowed at a moment’s notice. Things had to be multi-functional. In the case of our desk, the two supports could act as steps into the navigator’s bunk, or to mount a camel, whichever came first. The desktop, complete with drawers and brass bound, could act to stop musket bullets when under fire. Faux leather top, hand rubbed French finish, somewhat beat-up; proof of its many voyages and colorful history.
