Child's desk, stamped LEROY Félix master in 1749

Child's or young girl Bureau de pente in oak painted polychrome on yellow bottom with decoration of monkeys and birds in reserves surrounded by scrolls of acanthus leaves.

The front opens with a sinuous flap, a top pencil box and two drawers with floral decoration.
It rests on four arched and curved legs vigorously underlined by a double molding and ending with a leaf going up on the foot (this construction is found on seats stamped by this cabinetmaker)

Our desk is in excellent condition with its legs intact.
This piece of furniture is originally painted but we have restored the painting by taking back the partially erased decorations
This piece of furniture is stamped in three different places.
