Lot #4 of 165
Item Description

Exquisite antique (estimated mid-late 19th century) French drop-front lady’s writing desk featuring a hand-painted scene of a sleeping woman in a garden with an angel at her shoulder, evoking a religious subject matter, framed by brass ormolu details on the slant front and a landscape painting on the front skirt. The desk features its original working key and is gracefully designed with interior stationery storage cases and drawers and is set on curved cabriole legs also featuring brass ormolu detail and decorative feet. The upper and lateral panels of the desk are also painted with flowers. It is stenciled with the number 1422 on the underside and an old, typed name tag “L.A. Flynt” is attached under the drawer.

Notes: elegant and delicate, all original with some paint loss, some crackling to the veneer and wear consistent with age and use. The brass details are lifting in one corner where a nail has just started to come loose - can be pushed back in but lifts up again after a while. A crack is found in the middle of the drawer.
