With its outstanding profile, this piece is an excellent choice for placement throughout your home, from foyer to living area, as a bedside cabinet, and of course, in a library of home office. The gorgeous, paneled drop front features French floral and foliate carvings, with carved scale trim to either side. Lower desk has barley twist Corinthian column legs on all sides, and the silhouette is further defined with three carved baluster legs that extend from upper carved arch panels to the beveled trestle below.
