Fornasetti Decorated Antique Italian Writing Desk

About the Item

The exquisite antique table desk, shown here, represents the first collaboration between foley&cox HOME and Fornasetti. The desk was purchased in Italy and hand-decorated by Fornasetti using an archival pattern of gold and silver-colored skeleton keys. The desk features a drop down leather topped writing surface and concealed drawers and cubbies. The quality of the desk and Fornasetti workmanship makes this a museum quality piece—and one-of-a-kind treasure.
