An Exceptional Quality 19th Century French Bureau Plat with Ormolu Mounts.
This remarkable bureau plat has veneers of tulipwood and amaranth. The model is taken from the designs of the maker Phillipe-Claude Montigny, who became a master in 1766 and worked extensively for the royal family.
The original model upon which our piece is based was sold at Sotheby's in 2012 with a £200,000-£300,000 estimate.
