About the Item

A petite, French occasional table or writing desk from the 19th century with a very well-patinated leather surface in a gorgeous mahogany frame. The Directoire silhouette of this handsome desk celebrates the strength of refined proportions and restrained ornamentation. Nearly two centuries of use have left dark, mottled areas of color and texture on the leather, partially obscuring the design of the tooled edges. In the case are two drawers, which show keyholes although no key is present, instead, the drawers easily open by pulling the lower edge of the drawer fronts. Four squared and tapering legs rest on small brass casters to potentially move about. We think this desk will be a pleasure to use anywhere. Cleaned and polished with a French paste wax, ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition. Knee clearance: 22” H
