About the Item

This eighteenth-century Louis XIII walnut desk embodies both elegance and practicality. Crafted with faux drawers on one side and functional drawers on the reverse, it balances decorative appeal with everyday utility. Its monumental yet transitional scale, paired with a grand silhouette, makes it a striking addition to any interior. The slab-style top showcases a beautifully worn patina, a detail that speaks to centuries of use and adds warmth and authenticity. Wear is consistent with age, enhancing the desk’s timeless character rather than detracting from it. Sourced for its presence and versatility, this piece offers more than just a work surface, it serves as a statement of history, craftsmanship, and refined taste, seamlessly blending form and function in one. Desk top and legs are two pieces.
