Small Mahogany Sloping Desk
Beautiful solid small mahogany sloping desk with two drawers on each side on the belt that lock with an internal locking system in a secret cache. Below, a single drawer with identical handles, original lock, original bronze entry and key; all in working order. These drawers are surface-mounted with rounded edges. Above, a single-panel drop-leaf with mitered bands on the sides. This one, in excess of the slightly rounded frame, opens with an original key with an original lock in working order and bronze entry. It rests on support pulls on each side with a brass lens button. Inside we discover a step composed of three drawers on each side with bronze pull button. This space also has storage levels and a sliding shelf giving access to the secret cache. The sides of this piece of furniture are slightly curved in the vertical direction following the shape of the curved legs which end with bronze sabots.
