Flat desk in black lacquered veneer with gilt bronze decoration, Regence period circa 1715-1723
French Regence-period furniture of this quality is rare in the Art Market, the period being short and at the same time very rich for the Decorative Arts.

The top is encircled by an ormolu moulding and a magnificent patinated red leather with black leather inlay, all decorated with a gilded roulette, executed by our craftsman leather, Artisan Gainier.
