If you are one of those with a discering eye for antiques then one look at the Mosquée desk and chair will tell you what a priceless beauty you are staring at. This one is a splendid combo furniture unit designed by Carlo Bugatti who was a big name in 19th century, and in all fairness, still is even today!
Dating back to 1890, the desk and chair are in a surprisingly good condition and have been put up for sale by Sebstian Barquet. We are informed that these beauties have been made from walnut, ebonized walnut, parchment, copper, metal inlay, pewter and silk. The combination of all these luxury ingredients is unimaginiable to this day. We seriously wonder how Bugatti was able to put it all together.
The splendid craftsmanship of the creator gets reflected in the intricate detailing all over the chair and the table. Truly a collector’s item, Mosquée hair and desk is expected to fetch $100,000. Now that price bracket would be most bizarre for the antique illiterates but those who realise the actual worth of this historical furniture unit combination will know that it priceless!
