This piece of furniture comes into its own perfectly in a classic or eclectic interior, where it can serve as a functional workspace or a striking decorative element in a study or living room. Please note: the previous owner attempted to repair the piece to a greater or lesser extent, but it certainly requires some love and craftsmanship.
