To better understand the Directoire style of this desk
Directoire style was a period in the decorative arts, fashion, and especially furniture design in France concurrent with the Directory (November 2, 1795–November 10, 1799), the later part of the French Revolution. The style uses Neoclassical architectural forms, minimal carving, planar expanses of highly grained veneers, and applied decorative painting. It is a style transitional between Louis XVI and Empire.
The Directoire style was primarily established by the architects and designers Charles Percier (1764–1838) and Pier François Léonard Fontaine (1762–1853). In its use of Neoclassical architectural form and decorative motifs the style anticipates the slightly later and more elaborate Empire style, which was introduced after Napoleon established the First French Empire.

About Merobi & Fossati, Lissone
A. Meroni & R. Fossati - founded in 1870, it was one of the oldest and most important furniture factories in Lissone, a small town in Brianza specialized in the furniture industry.
In 1895 Meroni & Fossati reached an international connotation by opening a branch in Paris, a factory in Clamart and sales points in Rome, Milan, Varese, Paris and Vienna; warehouses in Constantinople, Amsterdam, Brussels, Zurich, London, Alexandria and in various cities of Italy.
The most important Italian designers, including Gio Ponti and Emilio Lancia, Guglielmo Urlich, have used Meroni & Fossati for the production of furniture, bringing considerable fame to this industry
Gio Ponti
Born in Milan in 1891, Giovanni (Gio) Ponti studied architecture at Politecnico. After serving in World War I, he worked as Art Director for respected ceramics company Richard-Ginori. Between 1923 and 1927, he partnered with architects Mino Fiocchi and Emilio Lancia. In 1928, Ponti launched both his own architectural studio and the famed magazine Domus. Through the pages of Domus—and, later, those of Lo Stile, which he founded and edited between 1941 and 1947—Ponti influenced international design taste for over 50 years.
Around 1933, he teamed up with engineers Antonio Fornaroli and Eugenio Soncini...
