Petite Art Deco Desk - Vanity Ruhlmann Style Mahogany, Shagreen & Bone Inlay

This lovely original petite desk has many of the essential French elements you would expect from that most important period of 1925. Perfect shagreen top inlayed in a criss-cross pattern outlined in an ivoroid bone material. There are three  drawers with criss/cross mahogany and matching pulls also original to the piece that is also graced  with that stylized French contour and faceted rosewood petite legs.

This is a stunning desk which could also be used as a vanity piece. Leaned up against a wall mirror or used with a  desk mirror to enhance the art deco point of view.  This desk has been lovingly restored, warm mahogany top, perfect shagreen in brown tone finished with lacquer for protection. The drawers with typical tongue and groove detailing reflect the craftsmanship of the period. A strong design look with a minimal footprint.  Very much in the tradition and style depicted here by  designer Jacques Emile  Ruhlmann.
