Empire Style Mahogany Middle Desk with Egyptian Décor, France 19th Century
About the Item
It is composed of two boxes and a central tray opening with nine drawers in total. The desk is in mahogany veneer of very fine grain quality, the color of the mahogany is not dark but rather soft, in harmony with the slightly darker soft veining that embellishes this mahogany veneer. This desk is adorned with gilded bronzes depicting busts of Egyptian women, leafy motifs such as palmettes and laurel wreaths, diamonds. All the bronzes are original, none of them are added.
The top of the desk is embellished with empire green leathers gilded with iron. This "Return from Egypt" style desk is a fine example of the Empire style.
It can also be combined with our empire green leather office chair. This large desk can therefore be placed in the center of a room since it is beautifully decorated on both sides.
