"Louis XVI Period Mahogany Pedestal Desk Attributed To Stockel"
Original and elegant mahogany and Cuban mahogany veneer order desk opening with a flap, five drawers and a niche, one of the drawers forming a writing desk, the latter like the flap covered with olive-colored leather, the white marble top surrounded by an openwork bronze gallery, mounted on oak, this is a quality Parisian work with very fine details in the mahogany sculptures in the corner uprights. This so-called "order" desk is attributed to Joseph Stockel, mastered in 1775, he excelled in the manufacture of "luxury" furniture executed with great taste and care, but in a rather austere way, the desk presented here is a good example, more original in its design, can also be used as a man's dressing table with its marble top!
