About the Item

Small Empire Desk, France, 1840 A simple yet elegant Empire-style desk, crafted in 1840. Made of solid oak and veneered with beautiful pyramidal mahogany, it reflects the classic character of the period. Although compact in size, the desk is highly practical, featuring pull-out side extensions that expand the working surface. The main top and side pull-outs are covered in leather, embossed with delicate gilded detailing. The desk retains five original keys with finely crafted ends. The legs are adorned with brass applications, and the keyholes are surrounded by subtle decorative escutcheons. A modest yet refined piece, embodying the elegance and craftsmanship of the Empire period. Meticulously restored, the desk retains its original charm, with fully functional drawers and preserved hardware. Its graceful proportions make it a perfect fit for both classic and modern interiors.
