About this piece
An exceptional 19th century French ladies writing desk, beautifully crafted in richly figured walnut and finely crossbanded in kingwood, dating to circa 1870. Elegantly proportioned, the desk is adorned throughout with finely cast gilt bronze ormolu mounts and boasts graceful serpentine lines, cabriole legs and exquisite craftsmanship synonymous with the finest French cabinetmakers.
The structure features nine drawers including eight small serpentine-fronted drawers and one full-width drawer, flanking a central fitted cabinet, providing an abundance of practical storage. A pull-out leather writing slide offers a generous writing surface while maintaining the desk’s refined silhouette. Every detail, from the beautifully figured timbers to the intricate ormolu mounts and finely finished interior, reflects the quality and sophistication of the period and its craftsmanship.
A stunning example of French decorative furniture, this elegant desk would make a magnificent centrepiece in any traditional home, study or refined interior.
