French 19th century Louis XVI st. Mahogany, Ormolu and marble desk/table

About the Item

A stunning and most decorative French 19th century Louis XVI st. Mahogany, Ormolu, and Gris St. Anne marble center table/desk, attributed to François Linke. This wonderful single drawer rectangular center table is raised on four square tapered legs with wrap around foliate Ormolu sabots. The edges of the legs are decorated with fine spiral reeded Ormolu bands. Below the foliate designed Ormolu top cap of each leg is a bouquet of berried foliate elements beneath a flowing bowed ribbon on the outer two panels. The three panel apron has a protruding central reserve which holds the drawer that is decorated with joyous cherubs holding baskets of fruits and flowers. The two panels flanking the drawer are decorated with flowing Ormolu bowed ribbons and swaging fabrics. There are two Ormolu rosette pendants above each leg that flank the front as well as both side aprons which are decorated with additional flowing bowed ribbons and swaging garments. The beautiful Gris St. Anne marble top displays a mottled edge which is wrapped in a fine Ormolu band.

    Located in Baton Rouge, LA
    A wonderful mid-19th century French Louis XVI style mahogany desk hand-crafted in France circa 1850. A beautiful, smooth top of flame mahogany is surrounded by a three quarter decorative brass gallery following down to two open center storage spaces and four roomy drawers in a removable riser. This top piece easily lifts off the base for transport and is affixed with circular, recessed brass escutcheon plates surrounded by Louis XVI style brass bellflower pulls. A second three quarter brass gallery surrounds the writing surface which measures 30” H and is adorned with new black leather with gold gilt tooling. Two sliders on each side of the writing surface are covered with the original leather and extend the desk out 17 ¾” on either side. The apron showcases the handsome veneer and gorgeous colors of the wood and contains four drawers of the same design that open easily. The right side has a singular large drawer that opens to contain a notched wooden privacy slide and a four compartment pull out wooden tray for excellent organization. The whole is raised on regal turned, tapering fluted legs with brass capitals and capped feet. Showcasing an attractive polished mahogany, this desk has fine features, many storage options, and is fully finished on all sides making it a supremely practical piece.
