This antique brass boulle desk sits in the main hall of the house. Brass boulle is the term for when furniture is overlaid with brass and inlaid with tortoiseshell, malachite, silver, and other precious materials. The desk's main drawer had a large escutcheon which had fallen off. To reattach, I cut finish nails to the correct size and with the help of a little epoxy, fastened it in place.
