ABOUT PRODUCTID 20317
This antique French desk from the mid-19th century is crafted from solid walnut with veneered drawer fronts, presenting a warm, medium-brown tone with a distinct natural grain. The semi-gloss finish enhances the wood’s depth, while the overall silhouette reflects the Louis Philippe style with late Biedermeier influences—evident in the elegantly curved cabriole legs ending in finely carved lion’s paw feet and acanthus leaf motifs at the knees. The drawers are adorned with geometric marquetry, using lighter and darker wood tones, and the apron features a decorative openwork lattice in the center, demonstrating refined craftsmanship. Discreet, dark metal escutcheons and knobs complement the historic design, and the joinery appears robust and precisely executed, likely employing traditional dovetailing. The desk’s surface is smooth, with subtle variations in carving texture and a tactile wood grain. The piece is in excellent condition, with no visible damage or significant wear; the authentic patina and all original details have been preserved through recent professional restoration.The desk
