About the Item

A fine early 19th century Louis XVI period bureau à cylindre, or roll top desk, made of solid walnut with marquetry veneers of walnut, mahogany and cherry. Pine as a secondary wood.

When the desktop is pulled forward, the roll top opens to reveal six small drawers, an open niche and a set of false drawers that may be removed to access a hidden compartment.

Check the picture of the lock. Sturdy square tapered legs. Beautiful choice of wood with skilled marquetry detail. Good quality and craftsmanship, in excellent condition for the age. Minor veneer repair and some restoration on the back, but nothing structural. Signed and dated 1913 by the cabinet maker.
