About the Item

This elegant Austrian cylinder roll-top desk, dating from around 1780, is a refined example of late Neoclassical (copf style) craftsmanship. The piece is constructed from a fine combination of cherry, pine, and walnut, richly enhanced with veneered surfaces that emphasize the harmonious geometry of the design. The cylinder top, decorated with delicate marquetry patterns and framed with fine borders, glides smoothly to reveal a practical writing surface and inner compartments for documents and personal items. Below the roll section, three drawers with intricate inlaid details and original bronze escutcheons provide ample storage. The desk rests on tapered, fluted legs, further underlining its classical proportions and balanced silhouette. With its elegant decorative program and superb functionality, this roll-top desk reflects the sophistication of Austrian furniture-making at the end of the 18th century, bridging utility and artistry in one distinguished piece.
