About the Item

An impressive and palatially scaled French 19th century Transitional st. Moucheté Mahogany and ormolu Bureau à Cylindre desk. The exceptional thirteen drawer roll top desk is raised by elegant cabriole legs with fitted ormolu sabots with handsome paw feet and acanthus leaves.

The beautiful reeded top also displays ormolu pulls and a keyhole escutcheon and rolls back to reveal the original fitted gold tooled leather writing surface which pulls out to expose additional space. Inside are five additional drawers showcasing the beautiful Moucheté Mahogany wood grain and displaying charming ormolu floral pulls and eight storage compartments. Each side displays recessed panels also showcasing the beautiful wood framed within fine mottled border with large additional pullouts extending outwards and each retaining their original gold tooled leather writing surface with the back being finished and decorated in a similar manner with elegant recessed panels. Above are three drawers also displaying ormolu berried laurel pulls and keyhole escutcheons all below the finished top with a mottled raised border. All original gilt throughout. With pull outs the length extends to 111.5" and the depth to 49.5".
