French 19th Century Oak Desk

About the Item

A large French oak desk from the 19th century with subtle Louis XVI influence to elevate the design from Provincial to exceptional. The silhouette of the design is refined and restrained: a broad top surface for working & writing over a short apron hosting two small drawers with turned wood knobs. Four squared legs are carved with a notch just below the apron (à la Louis XVI) before tapering down to the H-form stretcher. Nearly two centuries of use have left the expected patina on the top surface, including water rings and multiple parallel cuts from being used as a dining or work table. Recently cleaned and polished with a French paste wax to maintain the historic character, this unique table is ready for your interior. Please view the detailed images. Knee clearance: 24 ⅛” H
