$4,995.00
Dimensions: 30 3/4″ H x 72 1/2″ W x 32 1/4″ D
A large, leather-topped mahogany desk from 1870s France. This exceptional antique incorporates elements of Empire, Restauration and Biedermier styles. The more darkly-toned mahogany is complemented by the desk’s camel-colored leather top, which has gold tooled accents that embellish it. Three drawers provide storage for correspondence, papers, pens and pencils. The handsome mahogany is accented with inlaid satinwood bands that run the desk’s perimeter and trim out the drawers’ fronts. Each drawer has a working lock that can be used to secure its contents. Brass escutcheons surround the keyholes and are cast with knotted ribbon, beaded pearl and wreathed laurel motifs. Styled X-form uprights lift the desk, with sinuous brackets that brace them to the table. The kneehole has a clearance of 24”H.
