<p>[QUOTE="ElleBelle, post: 582687, member: 10517"]I have a Regency writing desk from the UK, I think circa 1855, similar to this photo. I would like to find out the purpose of the trim/moulding that runs along the top of the back and sides of the desk. I have seen it referred to as a "gallery back and sides" but I have no idea what its original purpose was and would like to find out, if anybody knows. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]174921[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
