with its rustic, raw appearance, it comes from the auvergne region of france.

the oak, being very old, retains its very dark patina, with simple, solid wood carving. It is entirely pegged.
the writing surface rests on two retractable wooden supports. Two sets of three small drawers adorn the top of the desk.

two cabinets, each with two doors and original locks, as well as a central drawer.

the original patina is preserved. In good overall condition, however, given its age, this piece of furniture has some imperfections, signs of wear, and a few small holes in the wood.
