About the Item

A Magnificent 19th Century Large Antique French Louis XV Style figural gilt bronze mounted kingwood and marquetry double-sided Bureau Plat/Desk of very unique shape. This spectacular French desk has a graceful, symmetrical form, is highly decorated all the way around, and can also be used as a center table. The elegant curved legs of this spectacular Bureau plat are embellished with the most intricate gilt bronze mounts depicting beautiful figural masks of neoclassical ladies with super gilt bronze feet. This rare Bureau plat is adorned with a solid, elegant gilt bronze border around the entire top and applied with the finest gilt bronze foliage mounts. Furthermore, the top is adorned with the most exquisite wood marquetry panel depicting unusual flowers, and is further decorated with a single secret drawer. The bureau plat is constructed from kingwood veneers laid in a symmetrical pattern across the surface, bordered by marquetry in floral arrangements positioned at the center panel. The continuous gilt bronze molding reinforces the serpentine outline of the top, fitted precisely along the curvilinear edges. The apron is similarly veneered with diagonal-cut kingwood panels, enriched by mounted gilt bronze scrollwork at each section. The drawer is incorporated into the front apron, fitted seamlessly, and finished with conforming gilt bronze embellishments, preserving the symmetry of the overall structure. Each of the four legs extends outward in cabriole form, the gilt bronze mounts following the full height of the leg, terminating in hoof-like gilt bronze sabots. The mounts on each corner are cast as full busts of classically draped female figures, their hair depicted in high relief, with cascading foliage extending down the leg supports. These figural mounts are complemented by scrolling acanthus and laurel sprays applied along the leg shafts and across the apron, unifying the decoration around the entire desk. The ormolu retains a rich fire-gilt surface, used to highlight the sculptural relief of the mounts against the polished kingwood veneers. The underside construction reveals the integration of mortise-and-tenon joinery typical of French cabinetmaking in the 1800s, confirming the piece’s precise artistry. This bureau plat represents a grand French Louis XV style furnishing of the 19th century, designed both as a writing desk and as a decorative centerpiece table.
