This antique French Napoleon III ébénisé écritoire is a study in refinement and history. Crafted in the late 19th century, its ebonized wood surface glows with the soft sheen of ag e, while the interior reveals a sumptuous midnight-blue velvet writing surface. The original glass inkwells remain intact, and the handpainted exterior designs are breathtaking. Though the key is absent and gentle signs of wear are visible, they only heighten its allure—proof of a life well lived in salons and studies of the Belle Époque. Sourced from an estate in Marseille dimensions: 12"W x 10.5"D x 3.5"H Show more
