Napoleon III-style Donkey-back Desk For Women
A charming sloped-top desk, or "donkey-back" desk, designed for ladies.
Each side is painted with a delicate floral design, different on each side. One can appreciate the painter’s skill, who has mastered his craft perfectly.
The distinctive feature of this desk is its cabinetmaking; all sides are curved, as is the drop-leaf. This three-dimensional effect is carved “from the solid block,” which is why it is referred to as a “curved” design.
