Superb Napoleon III Louis XV-style rosewood and rosewood flat desk executed during the second half of the 19th century, with a very rich and finely chased gilded bronze trim. The frame and drawers are in solid oak. Dark green leather top in good condition. The furniture has been entirely re-varnished and the bronzes just cleaned to revive their beautiful original gilding. This desk is inspired by the work of the famous cabinetmaker Charles Cressent, who worked during the reign of Louis XV.
It is double-sided, with simulated drawers on the visitor’s side.
