About this work

Design of a desk with inlay work, the sides of which are decorated in the form of a console with a panel. The desk rests on legs in the form of a claw, crowned with an eagle's head. On the desk are three designs of tableware. Above the desk are two candlesticks; the left one with a ball featuring three fleurs-de-lis and crowned with the French crown, and the right one decorated with unicorns. At the top, two consoles and an ornamental motif with a lion's head mask. Print is part of an album. Most likely a mirrored copy after a French original.
