Small Lady's Desk, Louis XV Style, Napoleon III Period - Mid-19th Century

Charming desk in blackened pear wood with a flap decorated with a large composition in chiseled brass. This important motif represents a large vase garnished with a bouquet of flowers, surrounded by volutes and foliage. The stage is surrounded by brass nets of different widths parallel to each other. The flap is surrounded by a large bronze rod, gadrooned on the inside. In the upper part, an original brass lock in working order is accompanied by its key, formed of arabesques. The flap opens thanks to two triangle hinges, engraved, like the lock. Surrounded by rosewood, we discover a magnificent red lambskin, recently laid, accompanied by its golden vignette. The tiered interior has an eventful rosewood front with a niche and three small drawers with button and mahogany interior. A large sliding shelf reveals a substantial storage space also in mahogany. The top, sides and fronts of this Louis XV style desk are all decorated with brass nets of different widths parallel to each other. This piece of furniture rests on arched legs with a fall in the upper part followed by a half-round rod positioned on the edge of the foot ending in a shoe. In addition to the quality of its essences, this lady's desk benefits from refined ornamentation and an ideal size. ******** Period: Mid-19th century Excellent interior and exterior condition.
