About the Item

A beautiful leather-topped mahogany writing desk dating to the 19th century in the Louis XVI style, with a hidden extension on each side to add occasional surface area. Framed by turreted corners, the leather surfaces of the top are a neutral, camel-tone outlined in gold tooling, which suits the beautiful striations of the mahogany grain. The case offers multiple drawers for storage–all retaining working locks with one key shared between them–paneled with brass trim for definition. Four, fluted legs (of classic Louis XVI design) taper elegantly down to the floor ending in brass sabot feet. At home or in an office, this antique writing desk will be a pleasure to work from. Cleaned, tightened, and polished with a French paste wax, ready to join your interior. Please view the detailed images. Width fully extended: 79” Width, closed: 38 ⅞” Knee clearance: 23 ½”
