Macret Stamped Donkey Back Desk Or Slope Desk

Beautiful mahogany and mahogany veneer sloping desk opening with a flap with a molded edge and movement on the top.
It discovers inside three small curved drawers on each side of a central niche at the base of which a tray slides allowing access to a cache.
Hinges and fittings of the original flap, old but changed lock, leather redone.
The upper part of the desk rests on a base which opens on the front with a drawer above a door on each side and in the center a false drawer corresponding to the interior cache and a real drawer below with a central recess.
The four uprights are chamfered and end with curved feet.
Gilded bronze trim.
It is stamped on the right rear upright MACRET
Louis XV period
Very beautiful manufacture corresponding entirely to the work of Pierre Macret who received in 1758 a royal patent of craftsman following the court, a title which confers on him the prerogatives of mastery.
Macret's stamp is characteristic because it has very small letters and the M in his name is barely visible. (photo)
