PLATE 3.

The cabinet writing-table represented in the annexed engraving, is contrived on a new plan, forming at once an elegant piece of furniture, and combining every possible convenience with the greatest simplicity. It is manufactured in mahogany, rose-wood, satin-wood, or the beautiful Brazil kingwood, &c. to any size. One lock secures the whole. By drawing out the desk, it disengages itself from the front, and by raising the front, which, by a simple contrivance, runs under the top, you come to use of the pigeon holes and drawers. Private drawers are made in the writing part, with ink and sand-glasses &c; the whole very handsomely carved and ornamented with brass or ivory. Beside it stands a very handsome and truly comfortable chair en suite, with a French cushion, and stuffed back.
