AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This bonheur du jour writing desk from the Charles X / Louis Philippe period (second quarter of the 19th century, circa 1830–1840) is made of walnut burl with an elegant flame-pattern veneer and a raised back fitted with small drawers, supported by turned, fluted legs. The writing surface originally had a leather inset, which is now missing.

Dimensions: 101 x 93 x 52 cm

As for its condition, the piece is generally well preserved, but shows clear signs of age and use: the writing surface has stains and wear to the finish, while the front has light scratches, small chips to the veneer along the edges, and variations in the wood’s patina consistent with its age.

Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description. Tracked shipping with secure packaging is included; any customs duties and taxes will be at the buyer’s expense.

**Collection is available. We are about 1 hour from Milan. Given the size of the item, a shipping quote can always be provided.
