Neo-Renaissance oak cash desk and step

This late 19th-early 20th century neo-Renaissance desk is recognizable by its rich, very detailed sculptures from the animal, floral and mythological repertoire of the 16th century. There are also fabulous animals or fantastic characters. Its oak wood structure is quite massive. The belt consists of a large central drawer and two drawers superimposed in a box on each side. There is a secret compartment inside the lower right drawer (the key is missing, not locked) A top with a crack along the length of the wood that has worked, retouched with wood paste that has cracked over time)). The top slides to optimize the work space, on top rest drawer steps with a central niche. A small restored arabesque (see photo) A sculpted edge surrounds the top. The Louis XIII style twisted column base is h-shaped. Full of charm, authenticity, very well maintained, waxed wood. For lovers of objects that tell a story ....
