Here we offer for sale a very fine Victorian kingwood bonheur du Jour, ladies writing desk, with Sevres porcelain plaques, circa 1860 in date.

The top of the superstructure is surrounded with a chased and gilded bronze gallery, serving the placement of ornaments. This leads down to a pair of serpentine cupboard doors inset with hand painted oval plaques surrounded by ornate gilt bronze mounts.

The doors open to reveal a finished interior with shelf above two drawers. 

The desk has a full length frieze drawer below a slide with original velvet inset writing surface.

The desk graciously stands on arched cabriole legs, with heavy ormolu mounts to the knees and feet.

The desk is offered in very good original condition.

Please note this item is sold.
