The workspace with generous dimensions is covered with authentic red leather. Its greatness explains its composition in three elements, whose junctions are skillfully made almost imperceptible by friezes on a hard background. This precious dressing is also garnished with angle florets and bordered by golden friezes. This tray is framed by a large brass baguette shaped with throat and 'Corbin beak', and each of its four corners is decorated with a bronze -opened badge.
This piece of furniture, with a modestly songwriter belt, opens with three drawers with original locks, their current keys, and, for two of them, finely cut bronze draw handles. That of the more refined center is as less deep than those of the sides, offering storage on 9.5 cm high.
To create a pleasant symmetry and visual, 'the rear' of this medium desk arranged to receive offers a facade similar to that of the front, but the drawers are fake.
The whole rests on four curved foot enjolivated throughout their height by bronzes in busts of women, which decide in pearls and leaves to the hooves which decorate the feet.
The interior of the drawers is oak.
We will appreciate the elegance of this ceremonial office as well as its warm leather, whose slight traces of wear and wear give it more charm and character than they serve it.
