The desk is ormolu mounted rosewood and kingwood. The top is inset with dark green and brown tooled
leather, and the corners have shell-claps mounts. There are six drawers in the pedestals with pierced rocaille lock-plates and handles divided by priced foliate scrolls. On the other side are six blind drawers, whole with a female mask decorating the spines extending to short cabriole legs which end in lion's paw sabots. |
