Antique French barley twist desk with its original shaved mohair blotter, bronze nail-head trim, beautifully hand-carved details, and a fully functional, full width apron drawer. This desk has one of the best looking bases we have ever seen and it will probably be quite a while before we find another French writing table this good. This desk is in original condition and structurally sound, there is a hole on the top and a chip on the edge which can be seen in the detailed photos. The mohair is very worn but we think it looks great. France circa 1840
