A fine quality Victorian period bonheur de jour, this ornate lady’s writing desk is made in the French taste, veneered in attractive figured amboyna, with purple heart and ebony decorative banding throughout. The upper central section is mirrored to the back and sides, and the back of the bottom section is also mirrored, having a narrow shelf across the width of the piece. The top has brass galleries and there are decorative Sevres plaques and ormolu mounts below. Two mahogany lined concealed drawers centrally flank a longer drawer with a pull-out writing surface of green tooled leather.

This is a highly decorative and multi-functional piece which will provide mirrored display surfaces for small objects, in addition to cupboard storage and will continue to be useful as a writing surface with drawer space.

Dating to circa 1870 to 1880, this is an Amboyna piece originating from England, but in the French taste.

This is in good age-related condition. The leather writing surface has some wear. The locks are present and there is a key, but this does not appear to work in the locks.
