Fabulous writing set made in a striking French Art Deco style. This extraordinary set has been made with noble materials, such as rosewood and bone, as well as glass.

The writing desk as such begins to be documented in the Renaissance, but it is true that the different elements with which they are constituted date back to Antiquity.
