Description

This is a Louis XVI style writing desk. This desk appears to be a fine example of a Louis XVI style bureau plat, or writing desk. The Louis XVI style, popular in the late 18th century, is characterized by its Neoclassical motifs, straight lines, and refined elegance. These desks were status symbols, often found in the homes of the wealthy and used for correspondence and managing affairs. This particular desk features a leather top, likely tooled, and is adorned with ormolu mounts, which are gilded bronze decorations. The legs are typically cabriole, and the overall design emphasizes symmetry and balance. Desks like these were not only functional but also served as decorative pieces, showcasing the owner's taste and wealth.
