A beautiful Napoleon III writing desk dating from around 1880, crafted from burr walnut with magnificent grain. The lid is decorated with a monogram in brass marquetry, while fine brass inlays accentuate the design.
The well-preserved interior features two inkwells, a stamp box, a large storage compartment for paper and writing accessories, and a writing surface lined with embossed green velvet when the drop-front is open.
The writing desk is sold with its key, which allows it to be locked.
Both practical and decorative, this writing desk reflects the care taken with office furniture at the end of the 19th century. It will easily find its place on a desk, in a library, or in a stylish interior.
The desk is in good condition, with a beautiful patina and the slight signs of wear typical of an object from this period, which contribute to its authenticity.
