A Louis XIV ormolu-mounted Boulle and marquetry bureau by André-Charles Boulle, the baize-lined rectangular top with a band of scrolling foliage and flowerheads, the spandrels with zoomorphic scallop masks, the kneehole flanked by seven panelled drawers with foliate borders and scrolling cartouche and foliate keyplates, the panelled sides and reverse created by panels of blue tortoise-shell with bacchic masks and songbirds among scrolling foliage and flowerheads, on eight square tapering legs headed by gadrooned collars and joined by double Y-stretchers, and with pinecone feet, the undercarriage reframed.
