Object Description
Fine small Louis XVI period side table or so-called “table écritoire” of rectangular shape, standing on four slender tapering legs with bronze sabots. The table comprises of two front drawers and one small drawer opening to the side and reveiling compartments for inkwells and quills. The top as well as the front drawers, the sides and the corresponding stretcher at the lower part of the table are decorated with mirrored tulipwood parquetry with green coloured banding. To prevent writing tools to fall off the table, the top is surrounded by a small wooden gallery.
