French 19th Century Directoire Mahogany Desk

A handsome Directoire style desk crafted in France circa 1820. Made from a beautiful mahogany that’s been cleaned and polished with French wax paste to reveal the vibrant grain. The top is inset with the original worn green leather. The apron houses two drink slides inset with leather in the same fashion as the desktop; a small metal pull on each slide. Maximum width with the slides out is 75-¼”. The apron features a larger center drawer with a knee clearance of 23-?”H. The left drawer features a faux double drawer front and houses a split drawer that would have locked on the interior at one point to hide valuables. Three keys are included to provide access to the drawers, all locks are in working condition. All drawers have been cleaned and open with ease. The desk is finished on all sides, giving you the ability to place this desk anywhere in your office or library. Tapered, rectangular legs are fixed with brass sabots for protection and aesthetics.
