    Description
    This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

    A very beautiful, large Japanese writing desk: 36 cm wide, 30.5 cm deep, and 17 cm high.

    It is lacquered black with decorations combining two techniques: polished gilding without relief and gilding with a high relief achieved by mixing it with other materials, such as charcoal powder or clay.
    The wide lid of the desk is decorated using this latter technique and features a peacock and mate against a background of branches and cherry blossoms.
    The entire rim is richly decorated with delicate flowers and branches, primarily cherry blossoms, using the gilding without relief technique.
    The lid, which includes the key and has a working lock, opens to reveal a two-part writing surface, the leather of which has been replaced in our workshop. The upper section opens to reveal a very finely lacquered decoration on its other side and to open a large storage compartment. The square holes above were designed to hold inkwells. The upper part of the writing desk is closed by a striking two-part curtained lid, revealing a removable pen tray which conceals a compartment with a bottom pierced by round holes of unknown purpose. This magnificent writing desk is in excellent condition and will be a key element in the decor of your office.
