Antique wooden tiered desk
A tiered desk and an antique bookcase, probably dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, combining a writing desk with a drop-down front, multiple interior compartments, small drawers, and a glazed upper section. Made of solid wood with warm tones — likely pine or cherry given its grain — it is distinguished by its moulded cornices and solid lower doors. This imposing and functional piece will naturally find its place in an office, a library, or a living room to display beautiful volumes while providing an elegant workspace. Condition: The furniture is sound, stable, and perfectly functional, with all doors and the drop-down front opening and closing correctly using its original key. The wood shows an authentic patina of time, including some superficial scratches from use, slight marks on the edges, and a contrasted patina on the writing surface. These discreet signs of age testify to its history and enhance its unique charm without compromising its sturdiness.
