About the Item

Elegant Louis XV Style Flat Desk – Black Lacquered with Gilded Bronze Decoration This exceptional Louis XV-style Flat Desk is a refined example of classic craftsmanship and French elegance. The combination of a deep black lacquered finish and richly detailed gilded bronze appliques gives the desk a prestigious appearance. The curved base and the ornate ornaments reflect the influence of the 18th century rococo style, characterized by flowing lines and luxurious decoration. The worktop is covered in black leather and has a fine gold-engraved frame. The gilded border around the top reinforces the classic aesthetic. The front is equipped with three spacious drawers, each with decorative, gilded bronze handles and key plates. The elegantly shaped, slightly curved legs are also equipped with refined bronze accents, which contributes to the harmonious appearance of the whole. Made in French or Belgian workshops, possibly in the style of famous cabinetmakers such as François Linke or Zwiener, but not originally from them.

Exceptional Louis XV Mazarin Bureau Plat with Fine Marquetry and Gilt Bronze
Located in Antwerp, BE
An exceptional Italian Louis XV / Louis XVI style Mazarin bureau plat, crafted circa 1990, featuring exquisite hand-finished floral marquetry and meticulously applied gilt bronze mounts. A true statement piece for luxurious interiors and refined settings. This magnificent Italian Mazarin-style bureau plat is a masterwork of craftsmanship in the tradition of the 18th-century French ébénistes, inspired by the renowned François Linke. The Mazarin form is defined by multiple drawers on each side, a central drawer over a door compartment, and elegantly curved cabriole legs joined by a marquetry-adorned stretcher — all present in this refined and balanced design. The desk is richly decorated with intricate hand-finished floral marquetry and classical scroll motifs on the top, sides, and drawer fronts, executed in carefully selected contrasting woods with extraordinary precision and polish. The gracefully curved legs and cross-stretcher are further enhanced with delicate inlay work and finished with meticulously applied gilt bronze mounts and rosettes. The nine curved drawers, framed in decorative inlay, are fitted with ornate gilt bronze wreath pulls that add to the refined opulence of the piece. This is a collector’s masterpiece that elevates traditional interiors and seamlessly complements elegant Hollywood Regency spaces, offering timeless sophistication and grand presence. Perfect for luxury residences, distinguished offices, grand libraries, or boutique hotel lobbies. Dimensions: Width: 143 cm (56.3 in) Depth: 73 cm (28.7 in) Height: 85 cm (33.5 in) Condition: Excellent condition, with only minimal, barely perceptible signs of age.
