French 19th Century Louis XVI Style Mahogany Desk

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
A handsome Louis XVI style desk from France, crafted during the 1870s. An inset leather writing surface is surrounded by fantastically figured mahogany and a brass border. All sides of the apron are finished, giving it the ability to float in a room. Each end of the apron houses a large slide out surface inset with the same color leather as the top and in good antique condition. Five drawer fronts showcase inset brass paneling and simple escutcheons within bookmatched facades. The right hand side houses a single drawer that’s split into two sections. The front drawer supports a removable four part organizer and the back serves as a great place to hide valuables with its slide out top. Fluted and brass inset joinery surmount legs with the same details. Raised on wonderfully shaped brass capped feet. One decorative key is included for all four functioning locks. With the slides out the maximum width is 77”. The center drawer knee clearance is 24-½”H and 16-¼”wide. Make sure to view all of the images for a closer look at the fine details and current condition.
