The top frieze of the desk has three drawers with the central one with a scrolled pierced Ormolu keyhole escutcheon and Giltwood band. The two outer drawers each display a central inlaid plaque of a seated woman holding a laurel branch surrounded by an Ormolu frame and scrolled decorative mounts. The top is fitted with its brown gold tooled leather and is surrounded by a handsome Ormolu gallery. François Linke (1855-1946) Renowned 19th Century Parisian Ébéniste.
