Mahogany, rosewood an coloured box tree marquetry writing desk stamped Charles Topino (twice). French Transition production, between Louis XV and Louis XVI periods circa 1770.

The top flap is decorated with a landscape marquetry presenting houses and characters.

The inside rosewood veneer is inlaid with a fine green coloured box tree latice work. The working surface is covered with leather. Inside there are two drawers including the right one for ink, and a cavity /safety box and its key.

On the lower part of our piece, there are 2 doors decorated with antique-style vases filled with flowers. The inside part of the doors are oak veneered with a simple diamond pattern. A shelf inside and two oak safe boxes.

Luxury, extremely refined piece of furniture. Every detail is thought thoroughly, including "hidden" parts that are normally not refined : the decoration on the reverse part of the doors, the shelf is sculpted...

The landscape backgroung probably used to be blue-coloured and became green over time.

Charles Topino, among the most talented and renowned 18th century French cabinet makers, master in 1773. His work is presented in the greatest Parisian museums and private collections. The much refined vases and landscape marquetry are typical from his work.

Our writing desk is in excellent condition, fully restored by our cabinet maker with a superb varnish executed in a traditional way.
