Louis XVI Period Architect's Table

A rectangular architect's table in mahogany and mahogany veneer, called "table à la Tronchin". The top, lined with leather, activated by a rack mechanism, rises and unfolds to form a desk which is itself removable and tiltable at will.

It opens with a compartmentalized belt drawer lined with a writing desk in gilded green leather with small irons and two side zippers trimmed with leather.

It rests on 4 sheath feet adorned with projecting pilasters, ending in gilded bronze shoes. The belt is adorned on the tops of the feet with finely chiseled and gilded bronze plates.

Stamped Fidelys Schey, Master received February 5, 1777
