About

Exceptional 19th century Empire style desk after a design from Jacob-Desmalter Made of flamed mahogany supported on the heads of four finely cast gilt bronze female caryatids, and richly decorated with beautiful bronze fittings and black leather writing tablet. The desk has three drawers with three hidden drawers behind it, to open these the front drawer must be completely removed. There are also a pull-out writing tablet on both sides. The desk was refreshed slightly but still has its original polishing varnish and is in its original condition with light traces of use and on the working side it is slightly bent due to its age, but this gives the whole its authentic charm. This can be seen in the pictures. No desk of this quality is offered on 1stdibs a real eyecatcher. The design for this superb desk is based on a famous ‘console double face’ by the Paris cabinetmaker Jacob-Desmalter. The table-console was delivered in 1803 to the Palais de l’Elysée in Paris where it stood in the bedroom belonging to Napoleon’s younger sister Caroline Murat. Today this console is exhibited in the Palace of Versailles (Grand Trianon).
