Direct from France, an elegant, and petite, antique French carved library table or "bureau plat" desk. A very petite size for this style, making it extremely versatile for use in today's home!! Incredible detailed carving, captivating features that include ornate, relief carved lion masks on the canted corners and large carved foliate scrolls across the wide frieze.
Quite unique feature here, the table top actually lifts open to reveal a ‘fitted’ interior compartment, probably originally designed for letter writing or for hand work supplies! Dual legs on each side, with hand carved acanthus bulbous shape. Ornately carved scalloped feet with large carved trestle stretcher for stability and support.
Carved on all sides, perfect for placement anywhere in a room because there's not a "back side". Solid oak with a rich finish, well built by craftsmen of the period, c1880.

Measurements: 28.5” ht. x 24” x 18”.
