However, the side mou=ts were replaced in the 1760's with the lion's masks ( dark=brown dot in each circled area shows where original mount was). This was a normal occurrence in the 18th century to make earlier=pieces more in line with current fashions. Now, this is where it gets interesting. Sotheby=E2 s catalogue illustrates a cartonnier (illustrated below) whic= they described as "later" that came with the desk. &=bsp; Does Mr. Epstein have the cartonnier? It's ob=iously hard to say from this black and white photo, but stylistically, the cartonnier could be from=the 1760's. If so, it was likely made at the same time the li=n's masks were put on the sides and would make the desk significant=y more valuable. EFTA_R1_01444999 EFTA02404928 If Mr. Epstein does have the cartonnier, we would nee= to see it to verify its age as it will obviously impact the value we give h=m. Also, what sort of value does Mr. Epstein need? Is he p=ssibly interested in selling the desk?
