The desk is distinguished by its two columns adorned with carved collars in the pure Empire style.
The drop-front, equipped with a key and a working lock, opens to reveal new green leather, embellished with a gilt vignette and a refined central motif. Inside, three large niches and six small drawers with brass knobs provide ample storage space. The lower section of the desk offers a storage compartment behind two doors, with an adjustable shelf inside. The entire piece rests on tall, slender legs. This desk captivates with the elegance of its lines, the quality of its materials, and the subtlety of its details. Its leather, its multiple storage compartments, and its ornate drawer make it as practical as it is decorative. A true favorite for lovers of antique furniture.
