The brass handles are later replacements. The desk has a fall front with two drawers beneath, inside drawers (one replaced), and slots, with a central compartment pulling out to reveal four secret drawers. It stands on a (possibly later but purpose-built) stand with cabriole legs terminating in square 'paintbrush' feet. The secret drawers are inscribed in Chinese characters equivalent to 'upper left; lower left; upper right; lower right' but they no longer fit in the correct order.M.3-19931accession numberM.3-199377269priref77269urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/77269https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/77269referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by Dr Donald Kellaway.referenceagent-161273adlib-agent-1612737179c907-a78d-36ba-827a-3ec29a2bea88Kellaway, Thomas Donald, Dr199319931993givenEntry date: 1993-10-1117011701CE1701circa1701175011750CE1750circa1750productionreferenceagent-149652adlib-agent-1496520d4f90dc-b166-3d4b-b0db-25f4118b6e98Unknownreferenceterm-109775adlib-term-109775360235be-f250-39b6-8374-dccd0bdf526018th Century, first half#Depthcm63.5Heightcm99.5Widthcm102.5referencemedia-49612adlib-media-496125807e965-8b79-392d-a0fe-294bca6cd208jpegaa/aa11/M_3_1993.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016587632914341imagejpegaa/aa11/mid_M_3_1993.jpg1heightpixels362widthpixels50016587632914341imagejpegaa/aa11/M_3_1993.jpg1heightpixels550widthpixels76016587632914341imagejpegaa/aa11/preview_M_3_1993.jpg1heightpixels181widthpixels25016587632914341image0media
