Louis XV Style Flat-Top Desk

Louis XV style bureau plat veneered in rosewood. The top is edged with a brass gallery and covered in its original havana-colored leather. It opens to a single large drawer to the front and rests on cabriole legs whose uprights are embellished with finely chiseled bronze mounts gilt with gold leaf, ending in bronze sabots. Fine Parisian craftsmanship, 19th century.
