"Rare Little Worker In Marquetry, In The Restoration Taste - Late Nineteenth"
Charming decorative worker provided in the central part with a Lyre, symbol of the Greek god Hermes. This one is embellished with three brass cylinders depicting the strings. It rests on an elegant cut-off element, then on three slightly curved legs ending in a volute. This lyre supports an oblong box with a light wood marquetry facade forming delicate leaves, on a rosewood background embellished with a lemon tree fillet. A golden brass button illusions the presence of a drawer. The solid mahogany top decorated with a fillet of lemon tree, lifts thanks to hinges and reveals three small lockers. Undeniably refined and harmonious, this little worker is a beautiful work that will delight with its grace and lightness. ******** Period: Late 19th century Excellent condition. Satin varnish finish.
