About the Item

This exquisite Circa 1900 Louis XVI style bureau plat exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and elegant design characteristic of the period. The desk is meticulously constructed with a mahogany veneer, showcasing a rich, warm patina that enhances its timeless appeal. The fluted legs, a hallmark of the Louis XVI style, are adorned with finely cast ormolu appliques, adding a touch of opulence. The writing surface is fitted with a high-quality green leather top, bordered with an intricate gold-tooled embossed trim, providing both a luxurious and practical workspace. The desk features three drawers, each lined with oak, offering ample storage while maintaining the integrity of the period's construction practices. A notable feature of this bureau plat is the inclusion of pull-out slides on either side, each with a matching leather top. These slides extend the workspace, making it ideal for additional documents or writing materials. The slides are operated by discreet brass knobs, seamlessly integrated into the desk's design. This piece is a functional writing desk suitable for any distinguished office, library, or study. The high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and classic design ensure this desk will be cherished for generations. Closed: H=30 in. W=54.5 in. D=26 in. 80 lbs Opens to a width of 90 in.
