Description from the seller
This elegant diplomatic desk fully embodies the eclectic and opulent taste of the Napoleonic III style. The furniture stands out for its flowing lines and refined marquetry work, with a herringbone-veneered surface that creates a dynamic play of warm, amber-toned grain. The rectangular top, edged with a gilded border, houses a dark leather insert decorated with gold-impressed friezes, perfect for use as a writing desk.
The structure is enriched with rich gilded metal alloy appliqués and chased details that highlight its shapes: from the ornamental caplets to the busts that decorate the shoulders of the cabriole legs. The front features three drawers framed by metallic profiles and equipped with escutcheons and finely worked handles.
Size: 81x160x80 cm
The piece presents in good vintage condition, preserving all the charm of its original patina; the structure is solid, although it shows some normal signs of wear and minor surface flaws, marks of time that confirm its authenticity.
Observe the photographs carefully, as they are an integral part of the description.
