Item Details
Description
This ebonized writing desk features a raised arched pediment with mounted porcelain medallion portraying cherubim festoons, ribbon and garlands while framed in bronze relief and incised laurel and olive branches encircle the winged babies sustaining the peaceful symbolism. Two delicate box/drawers flank the back splat supporting porcelain landscape scenes in romantic pastel shades opening to reveal secret storage compartments. Porcelain panels of angelic beings with upturned wings atone heavenly spirits with flora and fauna embellish on each of the six front drawers. Green tooled leather fits the working surface while ornate bronze bellflower and dart ornament enrich the molding. Turned, reeded pilaster legs capped with bronze floral swag scaffold the carcass as bentwood stretchers support the columns. Measures 44” high x 42 ½” wide x 22” deep (112.5 cm x 108.5 cm x 56.5 cm).
