Its belt has a central drawer whose facade, in vertical veneer of mahogany bramble is surrounded by a slight molding. Two rings of bronze prints, beaded with rosette in the center, frame an authentic lock in operating state, benefiting from an oval input surmounted by a Louis XVI node.
The sides of this belt are identical and recall the facade of the central drawer.
The whole rests on wounded feet with grooves stopped with a molded bronze ring in the upper part and ending with a square shoe.
The top is composed of a massive mahogany framing with slightly molded tab, the center of which benefits from a tidy of mahogany deployed with an open book, for perfect symmetry.
At the opening, two axes hinges are deployed and allow the tablet to position itself on the central drawer. We then discover a writing space lined with red leather with cold sticker, golden sticker and angles, framed by a edge of mahogany tab.
The upper part of this lady's office has two small doors with solid mahogany frames, with tab cutting, with double and dark doubles of an original mercury mirror. These have vertical bronze entrances, beaded and surmounted by a Louis XVI knot. The original locks are in working order. These doors open on brass lighters and reveal inside, a storage space, composed of an adjustable shelf on a rack.
Below, we find two drawers with molded chopsticks and bowl button in the center.
This upper part is provided with updated tingling amounts.
The sides with a large panel respect the proportions and the composition of the facade.
This happiness-day is summoned with a white carrare marble surrounded by an openwork brass gallery positioned at the rear, on the sides and having a return to the front.

Refined and elegant, this small quality piece of furniture with carved ornaments, will delight by its ideal functionality and dimensions.
