Louis-philippe Mahogany Desk - Mid-19th Century

Magnificent mahogany desk with an ogee flap in mahogany Burl forming a writing desk. This flap is unlocked by a key in the upper part which also allows the simultaneous opening of the four drawers of this piece of furniture. Once opened we discover an important space for work. The frame of the flap is in mahogany lined with dark green leather, the perimeter of which has a golden sticker with patterns on the corners. At the back, a niche is surrounded by a drawer on the left illusioning two and on the right two other drawers in light wood with mahogany knobs. The base unit of this desk also has two large burl mahogany drawers on the front. One of them has a sliding slide and four small compartments. This refined desk rests on four pretty gadrooned legs in solid mahogany. The upper part is composed of two identical drawers in the same spirit as the lower part. A lightly molded top from which two turned columns start on the front supporting a top with an openwork gallery in cut mahogany forming arabesques. The four drawers and the flap of this desk are condemned by a unique system, patented by the Ebénisterie Daubet et Dulmarest officiating in Lyon in the middle of the 19th century. This rare piece of furniture with the most beautiful effect and in perfect condition, will satisfy lovers of unique furniture benefiting from old quality manufacturing.
