18th C. French Carved-Wood Table with Leather Writing Pad Top
About the Item
A French carved-wood desk with leather writing pad top from the 18th century. This antique table from France features a rectangular-shaped top with rounded corners and fitted with a warm/camel-colored leather writing pad, which slightly overhangs an apron that has a nicely carved skirt along all four sides (allowing this piece to be floated within a room). The table is presented upon four gracefully curved and slender legs, which terminate into hoof style feet. The legs are in very good condition. The medium/warm toned fruitwood and leather top both have a nicely aged patina. The leather top is quite old, but likely not the original leather. The leg clearance at the underside of this piece is 24.25 inches in height. This 18th century French table with leather writing pad top, would make a delightful Bonheur-du-jour (small-sized ladies writing desk), yet a versatile enough piece to be useful in just about any room in your home.

This antique table from England would have originally been used as an architects work desk, complete with a pair of small shelves that pull out from either side of that table, that would have supported candles for lighting. The rectangular-shaped top rests atop an apron that houses a faux-drawer with single brass handle, that when pulled, reveals an extension to the table. This slide out wood top is lined with leather, creating an additional writing pad surface. The leather top an also be slid back under the main top, keep legs out, granting access to storage within (see images for more details on this). Carved bracket accents adorn the underside of the skirt against each of the squared outer legs, which partially wrap the outer edges of the nicely-turned inner legs (which are slightly longer and terminate into petite caster feet). Needless to say, this piece has very interesting legs! A curvy x-style stretcher bar braces the legs under the bottom center for additional support. Note that the pull out leather top adds an additional 28" x 13" table top work space, with a floor clearance underneath of 24".
