About the Item
A dazzling Louis XV style ebonized and brass-inlay desk from 19th century France, it is a masterpiece of rococo sensuality and bold, Empire taste. This exquisite antique table can serve multiple roles: as a console, desk, or center table to appreciate the fine, gilt bronze applications in the round. The serpentine top is edged in a gilt bronze trim of egg & dart pattern, matched in opulence by the intricate medallion at center of brass inlay featuring an overflowing garden urn surrounded by foliate scrolls and tendrils set off by the ebonized background. Please note there are some areas of loss to the brass, otherwise the design is still clearly appreciated. The table’s hidden drawer opens to provide a bit of storage, organized into three compartments. Swells along the apron bottom–also trimmed in gilt bronze and palmette ornaments–transition into cabriole legs armored with even more intricate and three-dimensional appliqués trailing down to the feet. Do note that the front and back pairs of feet differ slightly. View the detailed images to see more (and the current condition) of this remarkable writing table. Cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax–ready to join your interior.
