LOUIS XV STYLE VERNIS MARTIN LADY'S DESK, 19TH C., H 35", W 28":Raised on cabriole legs, and mounted with gilt bronze trim. Decorated with a center courting scene, measuring H. 35" x 28" x 19", 19th Century.

As is condition, bronze mounts are loose in several places, scuffing and decoration wear noted throughout. (Bronze mounts have been tacked down at DuMouchelles in all places but the at the top left edge [some of the tacking nails for the mounts are missing throughout]; the escutcheon around the keyhole and the sabots on the back feet are missing; readily visible slight spaces between all boards and joints have been noted; some crazing, nicks and scratches including some in the decoration are noted as well; could use cleaning because of soiling as well - needs conservation; no key; has a great look to it even with the before mentioned condition considerations.
