Antique or Reproduction? French??? Desk

By collectiblecur…, 14 July, 2011
Description

The style of this beautiful desk appears to be Louis XV. We have been unable to find informtion about this desk or even a  similar piece and have been searching for well over a year. It has dainty feet with a Gilded decoration at the base, as well as at the point where legs meet desk. Every piece is dovetailed. There is a large drawer with inlaid design, and above that is a pull out leather topped writing surface ( 16 1/2 X 18") The desktop has a roll top with inlaid design at either end which measure 8 3/4 " across (each). Above the roll tops there are 2 medium sized drawers and between those in the center are two smaller drawers (All have inlaid design) The very top of the desk has a 1" Brass rail Sides and Back) The bottom of the large drawer has a handwritten mark "Milano 3082". The underside of the pull out writing surface has a mark "15". The trim around the edges is a bit faded, but is gilded as well.... Help?
