French 19th Century Transitional St. Mahogany And Ormolu Cabinet/Secretary Desk
About the Item
A unique and very high quality French 19th century Transitional st. mahogany and ormolu cabinet/secretary desk. The secretary is raised by most elegant slender cabriole legs with beautiful finely detailed foliate sabots and scrolled foliate corner mounts. At the center is one drawer with fine ormolu pulls and a striking pierced foliate family crest shaped keyhole escutcheon. The drop down front displays a stunning intricately detailed hand painted scene of beautiful maidens seated outside playing with baby sheep while being courted by a boy. The painting is framed within a mottled ormolu band with fine circulate rosettes and additional charming hand painting scenes at each side. The drop down front opens to reveal two drawers, five pull out shelves, a fitted green felt writing surface, and all original hardware. Striking richly chased interlocking berried laurel branches lead up each side to stunning intricately detailed tied swaging floral garlands. Above is a most decorative burl wood inlay framed within a finely chased Coeur de Rai ormolu border. All original gilt throughout.
