Lady's Desk in Rosewood – 2nd Part 19th Century

This lady's desk in rosewood, dating from the second half of the 19th century during the reign of Napoleon III, embodies the elegance and refinement of period furniture. Its drop-down front, dressed in delicately patinated black leather, opens to a well-appointed interior featuring a bevelled mirror, two drawers, and a central compartment, offering both functionality and discreet charm. The brass gallery, along with finely chiselled bronze mounts and feet, highlights the nobility of its curved lines, typical of the reinterpreted Louis XV style. This piece has benefited from the craftsmanship of Lecomte antiques, whose expert work gives it an exceptional patina, revealing the richness of its wood and the finesse of its marquetry. Two external drawers complete the ensemble, adding practicality without compromising aesthetic harmony. This secretary is much more than a piece of furniture: it is a collector's item, a testament to a way of life and craftsmanship of excellence. ******** Period: 2nd Half of the 19th Century.
