Louis XV style writing desk. Gilt bronze, stone. Possibly French school, 19th century. Gilt bronze writing desk with a metal plate at the bottom and, at the top, a decoration based on plant and architectural elements, with a certain classicist influence, but with a composition and combination of movement somewhat reminiscent of Rococo.
