Dear Jordan,
Thank you for the fast reply. For an exact appraisal as possible, we need all these details images, the construction, or the drawers. When you could be back to make more images or you need this appraisal earlier?
With kind regards,
Georg
hello I have added a bunch more photos now to give you a better picture
Hey the info is updated, when can I expect a valuation?
Dear Jordan,
Thank you for the additional images and your patience. regarding a technical issue, the new images were not displayed and I ask for apologies for the delay.
The presented object is a bureau plat desk in the so-called Louis XV revival style. This style was used during the reign of the French king Louis XV and shows rococo stylistics in the basic forms and neoclassical characteristics in the metal fittings of the mask in the middle. This plate was probably made in the 20th century. The metal fittings are cast in bronze or brass and painted. It is difficult to decide by the picture if this is ormolu but at the handles, you can see the color. The table is made out of oak wood which is lacquered black and has a brass inlay work.
There are some small damages on the surface of the table and inlay work missing. Nevertheless, it is a highly decorative piece with decorative shaped metal works.
An estimation would be between 800 to 1600 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
I don’t have access to the images I’m out of town currently. Wood used underneath are all different, drawers are dovetailed and not machine dovetailed it’s apparent they were done by hand because they’re all different sizes
