"Cardboard Lectern In Mahogany, Restoration Period - 1st Part Of The Nineteenth"
Cartonnier desk forming a mahogany and mahogany veneer secretary topped with a sloping writing desk, a drawer, 5 boxes and a small drawer with inkwells on the right side. This narrow piece of furniture is composed of a flap inclined at a height allowing writing in a standing position. This one is trimmed in deep green leather with gold foil stamping, stamping and central pattern. This element discovering a storage space, closes with a lock in working order, original and hook with key. On the right side, a folding drawer with a square section equipped with a brass button, reveals a location comprising two inkwells and a pen holder. On the front, a false drawer in mahogany burl veneer with a small protruding strip and a drawer below have inlaid brass entries and original locks in perfect working order. Opening this drawer releases an opening in the right part holding the boxes. This unique piece of furniture has 5 original cartons in a nuanced green tone fitted with brass handles, gilded stickers and label holders. The sides of this piece of furniture are made of a single part without joints or cracks. In the lower part, we find a plinth and small feet. The back of the cabinet, the interior of the drawers and the niche are in oak. Its dimensions and its functionality provide many advantages to this bicentenary Cartonnier, which will also seduce you with its good-sized original storage. ******** Period: 1st part of the 19th century Excellent condition after restoration in our workshop.
