Large desk "violonné" style Napoleon III Boulle marquetry

Majestic desk style Napoléon III, this exceptional piece of furniture embodies the absolute refinement of 19th-century French cabinetmaking.

Fully made of black lacquered beech wood, it is distinguished by a top enlivened called "violinated", whose silhouette evokes the elegant curves of a violin, and its sumptuous Boulle marquetry.

The decoration is marquetry of brass, carefully executed, and features golden and red arabesques, enhanced by pattern plants and flowers, in the purest tradition of the French Second Empire.

Each golden bronze element — be it the finely chiseled volutes, the cariatids with feminine faces placed on the feet or the leafy ornaments — recalls the prestige of the large Parisian homes and salons.

Functional and versatile, this furniture is used as well as desk, middle table or console thanks to the presence of a large drawer hidden in the belt, easily removable for custom use.

This desk rests on four curved legs, beautifully carved and underlined with golden bronze, adding to the presence of the furniture.

Every detail bears witness to exceptional craftsmanship, making this unique piece ideal for a refined interior, a cabinet de curiosités or desk of management with history.

It will impose itself as the centerpiece of your decoration, attracting admiration and envy from your guests.
