Petite table à écrire en marqueterie d’amarante, bois de rose et bois clair d’époque Louis XVI, estampillée F. REIZELL

le plateau en partie gainé de maroquin camel, doré aux petits fers et ceint d’une lingotière, la ceinture à décor de rosaces inscrites dans des médaillons, ouvrant par un tiroir (traces d’un plateau à écrire aujourd’hui manquant), les pieds en gaine reposant sur des roulettes en métal ; (le plateau marqueté à l’origine)

The illustration of the catalogue is slightly too orange. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks throughout due to age and handling. The top was probably originally decorated with marquetry. Some minor restorations to the parquetry of the frieze. The drawer was originally fitted with a writing top which is now missing. Ready to be displayed.
