17" (43 cm.) l. , 14"h. desk, 32"h. with mirror. Of superb woods, the front finished with finest curly walnut veneers, the slant front desk has bombe-shaped drawer fronts fitted with bronze hardware. The desk hinges open to reveal a well-fitted interior with niches, drawers and decorative pillars, and a bracket people-sized mirror attached to the top suggests its original purpose as a dressing mirror, although the scale of the desk is ideal for display with poupees. Very fine condition. Early 1800s.
