DESK AND BOOKCASE.
Decoration - Furniture / Classic
Reference: JW017
Drum desk with display case. Wood, glass, metal. A tall wooden cabinet with a lower area with two doors and a drawer, a drum desk in the centre (two spaces above two drawers, central area with door and architectural elements and curves as decoration), and a display cabinet with two doors on top. Since the drum desk was developed in the mid-18th century, it was a common piece of furniture, spreading throughout Europe (in Spain they were apparently introduced during the reign of Charles III). In England, already at the end of the 18th century, a tall upper body was added to these drum desks as a bookcase.
