Small lady's desk, Louis XV style, Napoleon III period - Middle 19th century

Charming sloping desk in blackened pearwood with a flap decorated with a large composition in chased brass. This important motif represents a large vase decorated with a bouquet of flowers, surrounded by scrolls and foliage. The scene is surrounded by brass fillets of different widths parallel to each other. The flap is encircled by a large bronze rod, gadrooned on the inside.
At the top, an original lock in brass and in working condition is accompanied by its key, formed of arabesques.
The flap opens thanks to two hinges in triangle, engraved, like the lock.
Surrounded by rosewood, we discover a magnificent red lamb leather, recently installed, accompanied by its golden vignette.
The stepped interior has a rosewood front with a niche and three small drawers with knobs and mahogany interior.
A large sliding shelf reveals a substantial storage space also in mahogany.
The top, sides and fronts of this Louis XV style desk are all decorated with brass fillets of different widths running parallel to each other.
This piece of furniture rests on cambered legs with a drop in the upper part followed by a half-round rod positioned on the edge of the leg ending in a shoe.
In addition to the quality of its essences, this lady's desk benefits from refined ornamentation and ideal dimensionality.
