About the Item

This specialized oak desk was made in 19th century France. Used by jewelers, the desk’s lifted surface brings the table towards the artist, minimizing reach and strain on the eyes or back when precision is necessary. The work surface has a three quarter wood gallery and raised surface across the front; this raised edge keeps jewels and gems from rolling off the surface when being set. The desk is equipped with two drawers: the top drawer has a small brass knob and a single compartment while the lower drawer sits just below and has multiple compartments for keeping tools and precious stones. It is somewhat disguised without a pull and moves with the top drawer when it is open and closed. The desk is constructed with mortise & tenon joints and wood pegs. Sometimes a simple design, well executed, is perfection. View the detailed images to see more and the current condition.
