Mechanical Desk by Alfred Emmanuel Louis Beurdeley

This superb mechanical desk by famed French ébéniste Alfred Emmanuel Louis Beurdeley is both an artistic and engineering achievement. Adorned on the top and all sides with classical inlays of muses and putti studying astronomy and the arts, this elegant table is also decorated with cast gilt bronze, from the simple edging around the top and bold acanthus mounts on the corners and friezes, to the laurel leaf panels on the legs and caps on the ball feet.
