Lot Essay

This desk formed part of the Porter's collection of eighteenth century French furniture, most of which was acquired in the 1920's for their house on the Rue Monsieur in Paris. These pieces were later moved to their apartment in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York and country house in Williamstown.
