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. Maximum height x width x depth: 29.4 x 35.3 x 22 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

Elegant design and top quality carved multi purpose antique table. The top of this beautifully designed and very well executed table is inlaid with a diamond in the center which grows into a larger, but more organic diamond as it moves outward. The edges of this table with the differences in height also make this table extra impressive. What probably is most striking are the incredibly detailed carvings on all four sides and on all four legs.
