French Louis XVI Antique Satin Wood Marquetry Writing Secretary Desk Chest TableThis is a magnificent Louis XVI style antique Secretary Desk leather top writing desk with satin wood burl wood insets and superb marquetry and parquetry bordering on satin wood grained fronts and sides with finely engraved brass mounts, dolphin feet, and drawer pulls.It measures about 32 inches (81.28 cm) tall by 25.2 inches (64 cm) wide by 16 inches (40.64 cm) deep.It weighs over 41 pounds (18.6 Kg) by itself, without any packing materials.It features two pull out drawers with wavy, curved fronts, plus a slide out pull out leather topped writing desk platform that also can be taken completely out.The drawers are all dove tailed joined indicating earlier era construction and show aged wood inside.
