AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare Louis XVI-style center table / writing desk
Description:
Elegant and rare center table writing desk (or gaming/coffee table) in full Louis XVI style, dating to the late 19th century.
The furniture fully expresses the neoclassical rigor of the era: it is supported by four slender legs with a square pyramid trunk (the iconic Louis XVI spindly legs), ending with protective brass caps. The front rail hosts a large drawer finished with two splendid period bronze/brass knobs.
The top features a refined wooden edging that encloses a central inlay. The inside of the drawer retains its vintage lining. A piece of great charm, with perfectly balanced proportions, ideal for adding a touch of authentic history to any room.
Details and Dimensions:
Origin: Italy
Style: Louis XVI (Neoclassical)
Era: 1800s
Material: Walnut wood / precious veneers, bronze/brass details.
Conditions:
The furniture is structurally intact and solid, preserving its original patina. As visible in the photos, the upper shelf covering shows a noticeable stain/moisture mark and normal signs of aging are present on the wooden parts. An authentic antique piece that deserves a light conservative restoration to the top to return to its former splendor.
