French 18th Century Louis XV Bureau Plat, Writing Desk
About the Item
An imposing Louis XV ebonized writing table with finely chased gilt bronze mounts. The stepped moulded rectangular top inset with the original gilt-tooled leather above three frieze drawers with elaborate ormolu handles and escutcheons, the reverse conformingly organized with three simulated drawers, allowing this bureau plat to be freestanding, the cabriole legs with sabot feet headed by female masks.
The iconic Coco chancel lived with a Rococo writing desk just like this one and indeed this Bureau plat is the perfect addition to a tasteful study. The original leather inset is a true testimony of the long life of this beautiful table and underlines the authenticity, which is so important to an antique lover.
