Bureau cabinet - Maple, Mahogany - H : 101 cm

Writ desk in blond mahogany with herringbone inlays, sliding top and internal maple drawers, dating from 1880-1900.

This desk represents a refined example of European bourgeois furniture from the late nineteenth century. Made in blond mahogany with elegant herringbone inlays on the doors, it features a sliding upper surface that opens to reveal four internal drawers lined in maple. The lower structure with two doors, inlaid panels, and a central lockable drawer reflects the artisanal care of the era. This type of furniture was destined for the domestic spaces of well-off families, where it served both as a functional element for writing and keeping documents, and as a prestigious decorative piece. Desks from this period are highly valued by antique furniture collectors and enthusiasts of period interiors for their build quality, the elegance of proportions, and the beauty of the woods used. They represent an interesting investment for those wishing to furnish with authentic pieces that tell the story of European furniture at the turn of the century.
