About the Item

Rare architect’s desk in the à la Tronchin style, featuring an adjustable-height writing surface and two pull-out side trays—all lined in brown leather. A wide drawer beneath the top provides practical storage. Veneered in fine mahogany, the desk stands on tapered legs with brass sabots and small casters. Hand-polished and beautifully preserved—both a functional and distinguished example of early 19th-century craftsmanship.
