Description from the seller
Antique Louis XV Lacquered Center Writing Desk
Elegant writing desk from the eighteenth century, attributable to the Louis XV style, made in lacquered wood. The piece features a slender and harmonious silhouette, typical of the Rococo taste, with curved and splayed legs that terminate in shaped feet.
The front fascia is enriched by a central drawer, fitted with an original knob, set within a sinuous line featuring delicate carvings and gilded decorative accents on the sides. The top, shaped along the perimeter, retains the original lacquer with a natural patina of age, also visible in the signs of use consistent with the period.
The rear part is finished, a feature that makes the writing desk suitable for placement in the center of the room. The interior of the drawer is natural wood, as in the original eighteenth-century construction. A refined piece of furniture of great elegance, ideal for classical interiors, studies or formal drawing rooms.
