Philippe V Desk From the 17th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
This exceptional Felipe V writing desk is a true masterpiece of cabinetmaking. It captivates with its graceful design and meticulous craftsmanship. The piece, with a hinged cover and front, has been fashioned from the rich and warm woods of walnut and rosewood.
