ART DECO WORK - PROBABLY BY GOUFFÉ - IN THE TASTE OF DIM (JOUBERT ET PETIT) Mahogany and rosewood veneered sloping desk. The suspended body opens with a flap featuring checkerboard marquetry framed by a double galalith fillet, revealing an interior fitted with drawers and pigeonholes; its lower section, forming an entablature, opens with three drawers with fronts also in rosewood marquetry, each framed by a double galalith fillet; its side flanks with galalith fillets, its pediment with stick motifs also in galalith. The tapered legs are each topped by a capital evoking a stylized floral bell. The inside of the flap is (re)sheathed in leather, and the articulated bronze drawer handles evoke passementerie. Circa 1925. Condition and restorations, leather blotter replaced. H.111cm - W.79cm - D.44cm
