Louis XV sloping desk in rosewood veneer, enriched with marquetry on blackened pearwood. This period furniture has a flap whose perimeter is clad in a frieze, and underlined by a gadrooned bronze strip.

This opening, with two dovetail-shaped brass hinges, is equipped with an original functional lock and its adjusted key, as well as a bronze entry. The rosewood interior offers three identical drawers pulled by a wooden button, and a shelf, sliding with a brass tab, giving access to a storage space. There is also a writing desk whose perimeter is in rosewood veneer with miter cut. It is darkened with black lambskin embellished with cold stamped, golden vignettes and a central motif. The top of this desk, crowned with an openwork and scalloped bronze gallery, is inlaid in the same spirit as the sides. This piece of furniture rests on four curved legs, the faces of which are in rosewood veneer and the interiors in rosewood. They are decorated with falls continuing in brass rods and dying on clogs. The back of this property is mahogany, allowing it to be positioned in the middle of the room. Graceful and meticulously crafted, this elegant piece of furniture will please with its ornamentation and the beauty of its essence.
