French Ormolu Mounted Bacchus Desk with Bureau Parquetry All in Tulipwood

About the Item

A dark brown leather top with gilt tooled floral ornamentation. Flanked by two incredibly crisp ormolu Bacchus (The God of Wine) masks. Bacchus is one of the most recognizable of the gods due to the grapes which are always depicted entangled in his hair. The desk contains six drawers, three functional and three decorative, with symmetrical handles casted in the shape of as two fish sharing a tasty pomegranate. Bureau Parquetry decorates all four faces of the piece, framed by ormolu as well. Exquisite foliate ormolu corner mounts protect the corners, while the curved cabriole legs end in plump lion's paws. Comes with a glass top cut perfectly, to protect the soft leather. 30 1/2 in. (77.5 cm.) high, 68 in. (172.7 cm.) wide, 35 1/2 in. (90.2 cm.) deep The first thumbnail photo is from before the desk was cleaned, and close up images thereafter were taken after cleaning. Please refer to all photos but the thumbnail in order to discern the current condition of the piece.
