Very Rare Solid Rarewood French Louis Phillipe 19th Century Campaign Desk Bureau

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning and very rare original French Louise Philippe solid rare wood Campaign desk bureau with vintage certificate This desk is very special and really exceptionally rare. I’ll talk you through the details and there are many mostly around security. As you can see the desk is solid rare wood which is an exceptionally hard timber. All drawers have the original keys. The large main drawer lock is a thing to behold, if you turn it to the left, the main double locks go up, turn it again and they go up another level, turn it the other way twice and they both go down, you can then pull the whole drawer out and the desk top slides backwards, turn the lock again to the right and it unlocks the two side clasps holding the front of the drawer in place. This lock has been stripped cleaned and serviced as is working perfectly. Inside you have a lovely home office bureau with green leather gold leaf embossed tooling. Everything looks exactly as it should do. Under this main drawer you have two smaller drawers one either side, the left drawer is one long standard drawer, the right drawer has another drawer inside which has the original lock and key, this would have been used for cash This desk is simply put amazing, it is just mind blowingly amazing, the pictures don’t come close to doing it justice, I have never seen another of this type anywhere, in all my years and with a considerable amount of internet research, nothing has come close to this piece in design or quality The desk comes with a vintage Carte Verte which is a green card, Rare wood is now an endangered species, you can only transport it internationally if you have proof the timber is post 1970 I think it is, this desk has that documentation included In terms of the condition structurally its perfect, aesthetically there are some small patina marks here and there, it is around 160 years old so we can forgive it Dimensions: Height 90.5cm Width 134cm Depth 68.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. This item is available for collection from our Wimbledon warehouses Condition: Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
