About the Item
A refined late 19th century French Louis XVI style walnut writing table, sourced in Provence. The rectangular top with demi-lune ends is finished with a carved leaf-and-dart border, resting on a molded frieze with rosettes at each corner. Fluted and tapering legs support the structure, joined by a shaped X-stretcher centered with a turned finial. While designed as a writing table or small bureau plat, its versatile scale makes it equally suitable as a library desk, console table, center table, or even an occasional table in a salon or entryway. The craftsmanship highlights the fine graining and warm tone of walnut, accented with hand-carved details that elevate its understated elegance. Structurally revised and gently polished, the table remains solid and stable. Light wear, faint marks, and natural surface movement are consistent with age, preserving its authentic patina and charm.
