The curved front, elegant cabriole legs, and rich ornamentation are typical of the Baroque style. The body is adorned with intricate marquetry in various precious woods, forming floral patterns, tendrils, and decorative bands. The detailed marquetry work on the cylinder flap and drawer fronts is particularly impressive. The cylinder flap slides smoothly upwards, revealing a sophisticated interior. Here, a series of smaller drawers, open compartments, and a pull-out writing surface are concealed, all also embellished with fine wood inlays. The upper section offers additional storage with two curved drawers fitted with elaborate, gilt bronze fittings and handles. The wood has a warm, deep luster that accentuates the beauty of the marquetry and the patina of age. Details: German design circa 1800, brass handles, key included, good condition. Dimensions: Height: 96 cm, Width: 93 cm, Depth: 38 cm. Note: Measurements are always taken at the highest, widest, and deepest points. We can offer a discount for multiple purchases. See less
