Louis XV sloping desk in rosewood veneer, resting on 4 arched legs.
It opens with a rosewood veneered flap in butterfly wings, revealing an interior composed of 5 drawers, two compartments and a sliding cover.
The writing part slightly set back from the base rests on 4 slightly concave crosspieces. The front crosspiece has two drawers.
Beautiful ornamentation of gilded bronzes.
Work from the Louis XV period.
Length: 81.5 cm
Depth: 44 cm
Height: 93 cm
Our desk is similar to the work of André Antoine Lardin, master cabinetmaker active from 1750. A desk similar in its construction, particularly in the structure of the furniture and in the cutting of the front crosspiece is reproduced in the last two photos.
