message :Bonjour
I&#039;m writing from Brisbane in Australia.
I am reseaching a desk I own with similar turned knobs with keyholes. It also has similar removable trays in ebony. Behind is the same shelf that pushes back to open. There is a hole on the lower right side of that drawer. Is that for a peg so the drawer can&#039;t be pulled out all the way? Could you show me any mechanism that might be there? It would be much appreciated.
My desk is a large kneehole with slides. A bank of drawers fill in the kneehole. The 27 drawers are all french locking and locks marked V.F.Paris. The desk is ebony veneer over mahogany. Cedar drawers. Oak &amp; deal carcass. Dust boards are beech. Style looks like Louis Philippe. 
If you have time any light you can shed would be wonderful. 
Regards
Alexandra
