Description from the seller
French writing desk Charles X in figured walnut – circa 1830
Superb antique writing desk from the Charles X period, made of solid and veneered walnut, featuring remarkable flamed grain on the lid and the fronts.
The piece opens with a lift-up lid revealing an originally compartmented interior, consisting of several side compartments and a large central space, intended for storing writing accessories (pens, inkwell, seals, papers).
The facade is adorned with its original brass lock entrance, of a lozenge shape, characteristic of the period. All the hardware is antique, (key absent).
The whole rests on a sober and elegant construction, typical of the Charles X style, highlighting the quality of the wood and the purity of the lines.
Dimensions
Length: 38 cm
Depth: 25 cm
Height: 12 cm
State
Good overall condition. Beautiful antique patina. Slight signs of aging without structural alteration. Personally, the fabric appears to have been either replaced or glued back, with visible traces of white glue at the junction and slight splits visible in the photos.
Era
France, Charles X, around 1825–1835.
Decorative and functional object, ideal for an office, a library, or a 19th-century furniture collection.
