About the Item

The epitome of French elegance and style, this French Charles X-style writing desk takes the classic design of English Davenport desks to new heights. The table is exquisitely crafted of the finest Ceylon ebony and West Indian satinwood, among the rarest and most prized woods in the world. The gilt bronze mounts offer the perfect contrast with the wood's rich, dark color. A galleried top frames the gently angled slope, offering the perfect writing surface complete with a gilt bronze bookrest. Remarkably, the desk still features its original leather writing surface, which unlocks to reveal four drawers, one false and three functional, as well as a pull-out swiveling pen tray. The desk is accompanied by its original keys, which fit into a spring lock, allowing the utmost in privacy and security. The museum-quality creation showcases the technical prowess and high style for which French furniture is so prized, in a rare and desirable wood.
