Description

Rectangular box-shaped desk with a smooth walnut exterior reinforced with iron brackets topped with fleur-de-lis motifs; this contrasts with the front, which features architectural decoration in a distinctly Mudejar style.

Constructed in three vertical registers, two side registers with three drawers and a central register with a single drawer, which opens into a door revealing an interior with three smaller drawers.

Equipped with wrought iron side handles with a central disc. Door and drawer locks, handles, and iron hinges.

Architectural exterior decoration with gilt wood carving on a red bowl preparation. Applied bone plaques with geometric shapes and six-pointed stars, painted with floral decoration. Turned columns. The central door features portal-like decoration, with a curved pediment supported by twisted columns.
