Period: 19th century.
Dimensions : Height : 69cm x width : 21 x depth : 21cm.
The Louis XV style covers a period from 1725 to 1760, a new and precious style, it is also called Rocaille style because the rocaille remains the preferred ornament, it is also called Rococo style or Pompadour style.
The distinction is made during this period between the furniture of apparat and the usual furniture, it is also the great time of the cabinetmakers, of the floral or geometrical marquetries, of the taste for the exoticism and of the arrival of a number of small pieces of furniture related to the need for comfort, like the secretaries, the dusters, the bedside tables, etc.
Louis XV furniture is a must in the history of decorative arts!
It is referred to as "the moment of perfection of French art".
Even today, while furniture is essentially based on straight lines and parallelepipedal volumes, the curved Louis XV-style legs are still very popular.
Like a soft and refined touch to counterbalance the more austere forms.

- Cylinder Desk, Victorian Period, Flamed Mahogany, 19th CenturyLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRMagnificent English made cylinder desk in flamed mahogany, Victorian period. Period : 19th century Dimensions : Height : 121cm x length : 138cm x depth : 79cm It has a small support on the top to hold candles or files in progress and a large barrel-fronted desk compartment with a quality interior. Once the cylinder is opened, it reveals the interior of the desk with 10 maple veneer drawers and 6 pigeon holes to hold letters or any type of document to be sent or awaiting processing. This desk has a slide at the front which has three compartments covered with original leather allowing on each side to leave the writings in progress for the left part, the inkwell and the writing utensils for the right part and a slope of writing which can be raised for the central part. This first part rests on two pedestal bases, each composed of a series of three lockable drawers, equipped with original mahogany handles. Both bases are still equipped with their original brass castors, making the desk easy to manoeuvre. The desk is therefore divided into three individual sections, making it easy to transport and reassemble. The originality of this piece of furniture lies in its closing mechanism. A cylinder is a movable flap that folds down or up over a series of compartments and drawers, closing the top box of the desk to protect personal documents. In the early models, the cylinder consisted of a relatively fragile system of slatted curtains. This was soon replaced by a rigid quarter-circle panel...Category
