Small Louis XV Style Ladys Desk in Marquetry, Late 19th Century

This desk has a concave flap, in rosewood veneer, garnished with a composition of flowers, in light wood, surrounded by a net of boxwood. It is equipped with a functional original lock with brass entry and rear key. The writing part is dark with current cocoa leather with a central motif and golden vignette. This seat, mounted on dovetail knobs, is slightly raised. The interior offers three identical drawers in rosewood and boxwood nets as well as a reserve accessible by a sliding plate with brass miter.
The upper part of the furniture offers two drawers, surmounted by sheltered bronze galleries, and separated by a niche flanked by a beveled mirror. Two stilts, in turned brass, support a bronze gallery terrace.
The sides and the belt are with movement.
The whole rests on four arched feet, dressed at the front of falls and hooves.
Elegant and refined, this little lady’s office will please for its dimensions and the quality of its essences.
