Louis XVI style notary office

Large antique notary desk in dark stained solid wood, in the Louis XVI style. This professional piece, both elegant and functional, features 5 front drawers (four side drawers and one large compartmentalised central drawer) equipped with shell handles. The top is covered with a red desk mat (which can be easily replaced if needed). The legs are tapered and turned, typical of the style. The back (the rear of the desk) is as well-finished and attractive as the main front, adorned with metal ornaments in a patinated bronze or brass style, including a large central floral motif. Designed to be "all sides", this executive desk can easily be placed in the centre of a room. It is in generally good condition with a lovely patina from time. Please note some signs of use on the wood and small stains and holes on the desk mat (see zoomed photos). Very robust and stable structure. Height under the frieze (leg space): 58.5 cm.
