Philippe V Desk From the 17th Century

About the Item

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. What sets this piece apart is the intricate geometric decoration, finely inlaid in fruit woods, creating a captivating visual contrast. The details are simply breathtaking: bone inlays delicately worked into the sides and legs of ebonized wood, adding a touch of refinement and sophistication. The ebonization enhances the depth and texture of the wood, adding an extra dimension of elegance to this piece. Originating from Spain and dated to the late 17th century, this writing desk encapsulates the opulence and style of the era. Measuring 84x87x130 cm, it commands a prominent place in any space, serving as both a functional piece and a work of art. This design reveals a clear influence from the typology of San Filippo notaries and Italian Macerinos bureaus, showcasing an exquisite fusion of styles and techniques from different cultures and historical periods. In summary, this Felipe V writing desk is an amalgamation of exceptional craftsmanship, exquisite materials, and a design that transcends time – undoubtedly a jewel that would enrich any privileged space honored to house it.
