A French Mahogany Bronze Mounted Writing Desk, C 1900.

Offered by: 2220 Antiques

Description
This rectangular flat desk with molded edge and inset leather writing surface rests above three drawers that rest on tapering turned legs. Finely chased and gilded bronze ornaments and mounts are added for additional elegance.

I don't often say "I love this desk" after buying and selling for forty years but this desk is beautiful! The mahogany is very high quality and has a nice warm color. The bronze mounts are exquisite and generous. The cream color leather has gold tooling. The desk is in excellent ready to use condition.
