Writing desk from France in the Louis XVI style. This piece has been ebonized and finished with a lustrous French polish of museum-quality. There are five dovetailed drawers all with original brass hardware and trim. The key and locks are in working condition. There are leaves that pull out from the sides to extend the working space and functionality. The top of the desk is covered in the handsome cognac tan leather, embossed with a gilded frieze. The leather is on the pull-out leaves as well.
