"Cylinder Desk Or Bonheur Du Jour With Louis XVI Style System"
Cylinder desk known as Bonheur du jour, with system, in Louis XVI style mahogany with ornamentation of nets, rods and brass plates striated in scrapers, and Greek pull handles. It is topped with a pink marble from the Pyrenees surrounded by an openwork brass gallery resting on a valance frieze with two patinas. The opening of this office is at system. The bottom drawer equipped with a lock conditions by its closing the blocking of the cylinder and the central drawer in the upper part. The open cylinder discovers three drawers surmounted by a basin compartment to receive pens and pencils. The unfolded flap reveals a writing desk, 70x40 cm, covered with an imitation stingray in an antique green color, clean, not original. The desk rests on four tapered legs with molded brass grooves, bronze rings at the top and ending in bronze shoes. This piece of furniture which went through our workshop is in very good condition.
