About the Item

EBONIZED TOOLED-LEATHER BUREAU PLAT IN THE NEOCLASSICAL TASTE France, circa 1940 Attributed to Maurice Hirsch 29 1/2" H x 27 1/2" D x 51" W; knee clearance is 23 3/4" from ground to underside of drawer A fine Neoclassical bureau plat designed in the French Louis XVI taste during the Hollywood Regency era, it features a pair of dovetailed drawers set within a simple apron while the writing surface projects softly over all sides, this retaining its original cognac patinated gilt-tooled leather writing surface. The drawers are hung with gilt-bronze mounts and ring pulls and are framed with gilt trim; the corners of the desk have applied bronze ribbed moldings over tapered and fluted legs that terminate in turned sabots. A very fine streamlined desk. The same desk marked "M. Hirsch" was carried in the inventory of Maison Cedric of Paris, France (offered at the time for 16,000 EUR or $ 19,124 USD and since sold). The present example has no maker markings. Condition: Old finish with historical wear to lacquer and ebonizing, abrading and surface history. Fabulous patinated cognac leather writing surface with scuffs, scratches and other marks. Mounts discolored. Very good vintage condition, ready to place. ref. 511CPH20A About silla antiques art Established in 2009, we have available in our 9000 square foot brick-and-mortar gallery an ever-changing selection of carefully curated and catalogued furniture, decorative arts, paintings, sculpture and estate jewelry.
