Exquisite Louis XVI Cylinder Bureau ("Bureau à Cylindre"), France/Switzerland, circa 1770s
A magnificent and rare example of 18th-century craftsmanship, this large Louis XVI cylinder bureau embodies both elegance and functionality. Crafted around the 1770s, most likely in Eastern France or Switzerland, it reveals the refined hand of an accomplished ébéniste.
The corpus rests on slender, tapering rectangular legs, giving the piece a graceful balance. Two spacious lockable drawers anchor the lower section, while above, the writing compartment is concealed behind a beautifully curved semicircular lid. Inside, one discovers eight finely arranged small drawers and a sliding writing surface, perfectly combining practicality with sophistication.
The bureau’s decoration is particularly striking: a rich marquetry scheme where geometric precision harmonises with delicate floral details. This restrained yet opulent ornamentation reflects the transitional spirit of the Louis XVI style and speaks to its Swiss/French origins.
An exceptional collector’s piece — not only a functional writing desk but also a museum-worthy object of 18th-century decorative art, radiating timeless elegance.
