Stylish French, Napoleon III Fine Ladies Writing Desk with Wine / Bacchus Theme
About the Item
Fine quality and great design Napoleon III desk with large drawer and bronze angels.
This wonderful antique ladies desk also is highly practical because of the open design and the larger drawer. This fine specimen is supported by four elegant legs with stunning bronze details and turned brass feet. The overall design and also the combination of the top quality woods and stunning bronze elements will never fail to impress you or anyone visiting. The large bronze decoration in the middle of the large drawer shows us the theme of this stylish and meaningful antique desk. Here we can see the child Bachus, enjoying the good life and being carried around by two of his angel-like, satyr friends. Other stylish elements referring to the wine theme are ofcourse the stunning bronze grape bunch & leafs patterns on the two front legs. Because of its open design and practical size, this fine desk really is suitable for both ladies and gentleman and besides perfect for writing cards and letters, it also is ideal for surfing the web on your notebook. The large drawer is where you can keep your 'hardware' and/or writing materials to keep a clean desk. They really don't make 'em like this anymore and if you can already see this desk gracing your living space then maybe you should be its next custodian.
Mind you, perfect packaging (custom made) and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days are included in our fair price.

- Napoleon III Gutta Percha Pen Holder, France circa 1880By France"Located in Atlanta, GAThis superb Napoleon III Gutta Percha pen holder was handcrafted in France in the 1880s. The antique desk accessory is exquisitely crafted with different molded designs on each side and delicate ornamentation throughout. There is no known maker. This desk accessory is in overall good condition for a 150-year-old piece. The material is still shiny, with minor scratches and scuffs, but they do not significantly affect the overall appearance. Check the close-up. Measurements: 12.19 in wide (31 cm) x 3.94 in deep (10 cm) x 1.75 in high (4.5 cm). Note: Gutta-percha is a tree of the genus Palaquium in the family Sapotaceae. The name also refers to the rigid, naturally biologically inert, resilient, electrically nonconductive, thermoplastic latex derived from the tree. It is a polymer of isoprene that forms a rubber-like elastomer. The word "gutta-percha" comes from the plant's name in Malay: "Getah" translates as "latex." Percha or Perca is an older name for Sumatra. Long before Gutta-percha was introduced into the Western world, it was used in a less processed form by the natives of the Malaysian archipelago for making knife handles, walking sticks, and other purposes. William Montgomerie, a Scottish medical officer in imperial service, introduced gutta-percha into practical use in the West. He was the first to appreciate the potential of this material in medicine, and he was awarded the gold medal by the Royal Society of Arts, London, in 1843. This material was scientifically classified in 1843 and was recognized as a valuable natural thermoplastic. During the second half of the 19th century, gutta-percha was used for many domestic and industrial purposes. Gutta-percha was particularly important for the manufacture of underwater telegraph cables...Category
