Description from the seller
Small slant / donkey desk, Louis XV style, floral marquetry, Napoleon III, 19th century - France
Exquisite small sloped desk made in France during the Napoleón III era, mid-19th century. It features extraordinary marquetry of fine craftsmanship; different woods are used for the ornaments, both polygonal and floral, with great delicacy. This is achieved through the combination of veneers of different tones (rosewood, violetwood, and rosewood). This lightweight desk stands on four curved legs, the two front ones with sabots. Its profile front features a register with two handles and a fold-down writing tray, the desk itself, with granulated burgundy leather. This discreet fold-down service front houses inside two small drawers and additional compartments. All fittings, including the handles, are gilded and chased bronze. Lightweight, practical, and versatile furniture.
Dimensions: 84 x 68 x 37 cm / opened 64 cm deep.
The shipping costs include custom-made professional packaging; personalized shipping with tracking number and warranty.
