An outstanding Antique French Louis XV style bronze-mounted leather top desk, dating to the turn of the 20th century and signed Billen Paris. Billen was a highly regarded French retailer active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for supplying luxury furniture of exceptional quality to the finest homes throughout Paris and across France.
This finely proportioned bureau plat is adorned with high-quality bronze ormolu mounts, crisply cast and richly detailed, that highlight the graceful curves of its serpentine apron and cabriole legs. The bronze mounts are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that defined French decorative furniture during this era, bringing a touch of opulence and refinement to the piece.
The desk features a stunning burgundy leather writing surface, edged with intricately gilt-embossed tooling along the edges, a hallmark of high-end French furniture. The leather top not only provides a practical and durable writing area but also elevates the desk’s visual appeal, adding depth and richness to the warm wood tones of the frame.
Practical as well as beautiful, the desk includes three drawers, each seamlessly integrated into the apron. The center drawer is fitted with a functional lock, underscoring the piece’s fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. Its generous size and elegant proportions make it suitable for use as a writing desk, executive desk, or decorative focal point in a study, library, or office.
This Louis XV style desk reflects the Belle Époque’s admiration for 18th-century design, blending historical inspiration with turn-of-the-century Parisian elegance. The combination of gilt-bronze mounts, rich leather, and exquisite detailing makes this a superb example of French decorative arts at the dawn of the 20th century. A signed piece by Billen Paris is a rare find, making this desk not only a functional work of art but also a collectible antique for discerning buyers, interior designers, and connoisseurs of fine French furniture.
The piece is in good antique condition with the exception of some light surface scratches, Minor finish loss and normal age related wear. As to be expected with items of age and use.
