About the Item

This exceptional Louis XV-style Rosewood bureau plat features a hand-tooled leather top and its adorned with elaborate ormolu (gilt bronze) mounts. The ormolu mounts, finely cast and gilded, include corner embellishments with expressive female masks, scrolling acanthus leaves, and floral motifs, all meticulously detailed to enhance the desk’s luxurious presence. A tooled green leather writing surface is framed by a brass border, complementing the warm tones of the rosewood. With its graceful cabriole legs and three spacious drawers, this bureau plat is both a statement of elegance and a functional masterpiece. Desks like this were originally designed for the private studies of aristocrats or high-ranking officials – one of this quality would have been a commissioned work for a grand châteaux or important residence.
