A large French writing desk or library desk in the Neoclassical Louis XVI style, sourced from Provence, France. Expertly hand-crafted from solid mahogany, the desk features a rectangular top inset with burgundy red tooled leather, flanked by two pull-out extension leaves that extend the total length to 101 inches.
