Antique Questions Forum / French secretaire, possibly
« on: July 16, 2012, 03:11:30 am »
This desk was inherited from the wife's mother:
We need the room and want to sell; but we don't know much about it. It was bought in France, probably Paris, probably sometime in the 1970s, certainly not later. The top is solid stone and very heavy; Grandmere always said it was marble. The construction seems fair with dovetail joints where I can see joints. I don't know what the wood is but it seems rather nice.
Any ideas please?
