An elegant and diminutive slant front desk, combining restrained transitional Louis XV slendar curved legs and apron with a touch of Louis XVI formality. The light fruitwood is enhanced with contrasting dark inlays featuring an especially chic interlocking knot motif recalling Greek key ornamentation. A mix of smartly book matched grain patterns and burled and figured wood panels add further visual interest. The front contains two small drawers over a single long drawer. The interior is fitted with four drawers and a shelf. A central compartment does not open. Green leather writing surface. In restored antique condition, with scattered restorations to the marquetry and some areas with woodworm- overall a very attractive antique French provincial look, with imperfections and patina imparting great character to the piece. Good French polished surface.
H: 39 ¾ W: 18 ½ D: 33 ½
