ABOUT PRODUCTID 20313
This French ladies' writing desk, dating to circa 1900, exemplifies Louis XV Revival furniture craftsmanship. The structure is crafted from walnut in a warm, medium brown hue with a semi-gloss finish that accentuates the natural grain. The top is edged with lighter wood marquetry and features a black leather writing surface, bordered with gold tooling for a refined contrast. The desk stands on slender, cabriole legs finished with bronze sabots, and decorative gilt-bronze mounts with floral rococo motifs adorn the corners, drawers, and handles. The upper section includes two small drawers and an open compartment, crowned with a brass gallery and a marble slab in cream and beige tones. Drawer interiors reveal meticulous dovetail joinery. The overall condition is excellent, with minimal signs of use and all original decorative elements intact.The silhouette of this desk evokes the turn of the 20th century—a moment when delicate furnishings defined the private sphere of the home. Cabriole legs and gilt-bronze mounts recall the ambiance of Parisian salons, where lightness and ornamentation coexisted with artisanal skill. The marble top and subtle gallery seem to whisper of morning correspondence and notes written in daylight. Every detail, from the fine marquetry to the tooled leather, carries the narrative of daily rituals more than a century ago.The desk could be paired with an upholstered chair in Louis XV style or with a contemporary chair of light form, highlighting the historical character of the piece.
