Description from the seller
Antique Napoleon III Center Desk
Elegant French center desk, dating from the Napoleon III era, made of solid mahogany with oak interiors. The structure features a rectangular top covered in red faux leather, framed by a refined gold border hot-stamped.
The piece is equipped with three front drawers, of which one is central and two shaped side drawers, enriched with bronze ring handles. On the sides there are two retractable surfaces also lined in leather, which expand the work surface while maintaining stylistic and functional coherence.
The turned, tapering legs, finished with brass tips, give momentum and elegance to the ensemble. The desk is worked on the back as well, a feature that makes it ideal for placement in the center of the room. A piece of great charm and artisanal quality, typical of French production in the second half of the nineteenth century.
