The piece is the height of style, elegance and workmanship and is in perfect condition, ready for immediate use. As illustrated here, the Boulle style is best known for the type of inlay, which consists of a sheet of red and black rhinestone embedded Carey of brass or other metals attractive.

The desktop has three drawers on one side so it would be perfect for your home or small office.
