Classically Beautiful

Louis XV FRANCO//GERMAN SECRETAIRE
Bombe in form, this classically styled chest is so amazing. It has inlaid florals in a marquetry/parquetry  style that are composed of Tulipwood, Kingwood, & Sycamore. There is a secret drawer just below the Marble top. The top half of the chest drops down to reveal a leather lined writing desk.

talk about texture and color - this would be    great in most any interior
