Secretary Louis XVI Old Marquetry

A rare, small antique Louis XVI style secretary desk, dating from the second half of the 19th century. Beautiful marquetry in light rosewood adorned with rich gilt bronze mounts. A few minor restorations are needed to make it perfect, but this is by no means a tedious or expensive undertaking (a task within the reach of a meticulous handyman; I can offer advice on this if needed, as I have restored countless such desks during my professional career). Very important: no cracks on the entire front, including the drop-front and sides (very rare). The structure is oak with dovetail joints; all the elements are original except for the hinges on the top, which have been added and should be removed. Its small dimensions make it particularly interesting and rare: Height 130 cm, Width 71 cm, Total Depth 38 cm. Packaging: Item carefully packaged. Delivery: To be collected in Nevers. Delivery is possible in Paris (Paris/Nevers axis) and Montpellier.
