Description from the seller
Slatted desk with tambour in maple with drawer and key, Carlo X style
This slatted desk represents an example of the functional furniture widespread in Europe during the Carlo X period (1824-1830) and subsequently reinterpreted during the 19th century. Slatted desks, characterized by fold‑out side wings that allow expanding the writing surface, were particularly appreciated for their versatility in domestic spaces. Maple, with its light grain and its resilience, was a prized wood used for high‑quality furniture destined for well‑off families. The Carlo X style is distinguished by sober lines, elegant proportions, and the use of light woods such as maple and birch.
These pieces are highly sought after by antique furniture collectors and enthusiasts of historic design for their functionality and refined artisanal craftsmanship. Maple slatted desks in the Carlo X style are especially valued in the European antique market for their understated elegance, build quality, and practicality. The drawer with a key adds an element of security and prestige, making these pieces ideal both for use and for display in classic or eclectic environments.
Width with extended slats: 152 cm
