The table’s top is adorned with a beautifully aged leather insert with gilt tooling, framed by a molded mahogany edge, creating a rich and sophisticated surface that has developed a deep, warm patina over time.

The apron of the table is meticulously carved with fluted panels and classical motifs, highlighting the attention to detail that characterizes this piece. The desk is functional as well as elegant, featuring two working drawers. Each drawer is fitted with original brass handles, complete with ornate escutcheons, adding to the table’s historical authenticity.

Supported by six fluted, tapered legs, the table exudes both grace and stability. The legs are set on brass casters, allowing for easy movement while maintaining the table’s refined appearance. The carvings on the legs are precise and delicate, reflecting the neoclassical influence that persisted into the 19th century.

This versatile piece can serve as a center table, partner’s desk, or writing table, making it a valuable addition to any sophisticated interior. See less
