It was listed by Marylebone Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Marylebone Antiques has dated this French Inlaid Writing Table to the 1800s.
It is of exceptionally fine quality, this is really quite a special piece. It is predominantly walnut, there is incredibly fine inlay of satin wood throughout.
There are even finely detailed inlaid patterns that run down each leg.
The gilt bronze ormolu mounts are also of incredibly high quality, they are seen all over this desk, and on the front, back and sides they hold in place beautiful hand painted porcelain plaques, which are probably Sevres.
There are two drawers in the front, the back of this has no drawers but is finished in an identical fashion, so this can be used as a free standing item.
We have had this recently restored and re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age.
