One gilt bronze border needs to be refixed on stretcher. Attractive table, good model by one of the greatest ébéniste of Louis XV reign.

Ce type de petite table à écrire est typique de l'oeuvre de B.V.R.B datable des années 17450-1760, il a été largement décliné, d'un modèle très sobre comme c'est le cas ici à celui en marqueterie richement souligné de bronze doré pour atteindre le summun du raffinement avec celui à plateau en porcelaine de Sèvres livré par le marchand-mercier Poirier (voir vente Christie's Londres, le 29 novembre 1973, lot 106).
