Description

Mazzarina desk in walnut briar with threads to form polylobed frames that decorate the front, the sides and the top.

The under-top band includes a large central drawer with a small door underneath that can be opened with a bronze knob, all framed by three smaller side drawers.

The wavy front is divided into three bands framed at the corners by volutes of leaves in inlaid wood.

Eight obelisk-shaped legs in threaded wood are joined by crossed crosspieces.

The entire system is inlaid with a floral motif with maple wood.
