The surface is veneered in richly grained walnut with a deep amber tone and features a natural patina developed over two centuries. The striking grain and warm coloration highlight the desk's timeless beauty and craftsmanship.

The back of the piece is also fully veneered, allowing it to stand freely in a room and be admired from all angles. The top gallery is also veneered in walnut and features four small drawers and one open shelf, adding both beauty and utility to this refined design. All brass hardware and locks are original to the piece. The desk is in very good condition and has been finished with a traditional French polish.
