Description from the seller
Lovely exceptional semainier desk, a true work of art and history, inspired by Louis XV. This versatile piece marries elegance and functionality brilliantly.
A Refined Design:
This semainier desk is characterized by a unique architecture, combining a fold-down secretaire on the top and several spacious drawers underneath. The front is adorned with superb floral marquetry in precious wood species, drawing delicate and harmonious patterns. The sides are also embellished with refined marquetry, adding an extra touch of sophistication.
The Charm of Authenticity:
The desk is crowned with an elegant marble top, bringing a note of prestige and durability.
The ornamental details in gilt bronze, such as the drawer pulls and the foot decorations, emphasize the piece’s precious character. The natural patina of the wood and the marks of time testify to its authenticity and history.
Interior Arranged: The fall-front opens to reveal a theatre containing a niche/shelf, two small interior marqueted drawers, and a writing surface covered with its original suede/ felt lining bordered by a gold trim.
19th-century furniture piece, it naturally presents some veneer flaws; please check the photos for more details. Thank you
3 keys are present, the locks are functional.
