French Napoleon II mahogany and gilt bronze center desk circa 1855

French center desk with solid mahogany veneer frame decorated with mercury-gilt bronzes such as sphinx heads, lion paws and friezes. Top covered in leather. Two drawers.

The peak of this style's success was reached when the book "voyages dans le Basse et la Haute Egypte pendants les campagnes du general Bonaparte" by Dominique Vivant Denon...
