About the Item

This exquisite Louis XVI style bureau plat, crafted in the 19th century by Zweiner, showcases the elegance of French design. Featuring a luxurious inset leather top, the piece is adorned with intricate marquetry inlay around the frieze. Gilded ormolu mounts accentuate the graceful curves and details, including finely crafted legs that elevate its aesthetic. The rich wood grain adds warmth and sophistication, making it a standout piece for any refined interior. This bureau plat not only serves as a functional writing desk but also as a stunning example of period craftsmanship and opulence in furniture design. Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener, the renowned cabinetmaker, was active from approximately 1875 to 1900, with his most prominent period being from 1880 to 1895. He was born in 1849 and died in 1895. His workshop was located in Paris at 2, rue de la Roquette Batch 84
