18th Century French Rustic Writing Table

$1,980

About

18th century French rustic writing table was crafted from a country home, probably owned by a noble or dignitary, who brought some of the concepts of convenient and "modern" living to his rural estate. In this case it appears in the form of a writing table, essential to all men and women of letters, as the hand-written letter, card or missive was the sole method of long distance communication. Hand-crafted by local artisans from the available indigenous old-growth oak, it features a technique of affixing the top borrowed from Flemish woodworkers, a feature that made the top removable for ease in transport, if so desired. The edges have been rounded on the top to make this piece exceptionally traffic-friendly and capable of placement in the center of the room if desired. A full width drawer provides copious storage, and support is provided by four single-timber scrolled legs for elegant simplicity, circa 1750s. Measures: 28 H x 49 W x 33.5 D.
