Italian Neoclassical Writing Table, 19th Century

    19th Century French Renaissance writing table ~ student desk is a remarkable example of the furniture maker's craft, performed on a diminutive scale perfect for townhomes, apartments, libraries, studies, and a student's bedroom!

Another tier of ogee trim in reverse appears under the carved edging, and that's just the surface!
