"Vintage Hammary Maisonette French Louis XV ladies writing desk. Made of fruitwood featuring a scalloped serpentine design with one drawer, two compartments over cabriole legs. Feminine Finesse. Lady's French Desk, rich in tradition, timeless in style, glows with the mellow patina of its hand rubbed fruitwood finish. Top compartments are hallmarked with antiqued brass grilled doors. Item number 22286-00 Lady's Desk Hammary presented Maisonette, their newest collection ""a la francaise"" in the late 1970s. ""This exciting group proves that the classic grace of French Provincial has aged beautifully and suits today's trend to traditional perfectly. Graceful Gallic curves and understated French elegance are newly interpreted for the modern mode and are scaled a bit more diminutively"" About Hammary In October 1943, after eight years working with furniture manufacturers in the Carolinas and Virginia as a sales representative of the Reliance Varnish Company and Central Glass Company, Hamilton Louden Bruce decided to try his hand at furniture manufacturing. Leasing a small building for $15.00 per month, he hired two helpers and started to manufacture canvas covered lawn chairs. Production amounted to 24 chairs a day. The company derived its name from Hamilton (Ham) and his wife, Mary (mary), therefore Hammary. Late in 1947, Mr. Bruce dropped the lawn chair line and began to manufacture a group of occasional tables. With a briefcase full of sketches, Mr. Bruce made a quick tour of Eastern retail furniture outlets and came home with $200,000 in orders... this before the first sample tables were made at the plant. In 1948, the company started producing mahogany and gum tables with leather and mahogany tops, shifting the next year to leather tops exclusively with all genuine Honduras mahogany."
