AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Charming and refined classic bowfront desk (fitted with a flip top) ideal for adding a touch of elegance and prestige to a study, salon, or dignified entrance. The piece is made of precious walnut wood (or solid wood veneered in noble essence), featuring a beautiful warm, figure-flamed grain, enhanced by an excellent glossy finish.
Main features and construction details:
• Top section (Flip front): The drop-front door opens to transform into a practical and sturdy writing desk. Inside hides a splendid architectural cubbyhole enriched by an elegant four-arch colonnade and turned wooden columns, perfect for organizing documents or displaying small collectible objects.
• Bottom section (Storage compartment): Equipped with two large paneled frame doors that open onto a spacious interior divided by a sturdy wooden shelf, offering great storage capacity.
• Period hardware: The piece comes with its splendid original key in worked bronze/brass in Baroque style, fully functional, paired with a finely chased lock plate. The visible side hinges on the lower part add a further touch of character.
• Base: The bureau rests on a solid, shaped plinth, finished with classic, stable ball feet.
Condition:
The piece presents in excellent aesthetic and structural condition. It requires no restoration work: the surface is clean, with no significant marks or structural defects. The interiors are also well preserved.
Logistical info and self-pickup

• Easy access: Pickup is entirely at ground level. The property has wide vehicle access, ideal and very convenient for easily accommodating trucks, vans, or large cars right in front of the loading point.
