Louis XV Desk With Steps In Carved Walnut – France, Late 18th Century

About the Item

Crafted in France at the end of the 18th century, this exquisite « bureau à gradin » embodies the elegance and refinement of the Louis XV style. Its beautifully sculpted walnut showcases a rich, warm patina that highlights the intricate wood grain and exceptional craftsmanship of the period. The gracefully curved legs, known as « jambages galbés »,add a sense of fluidity and movement characteristic of Louis XV design, enhancing the desk's sophisticated silhouette. The raised back tier (*gradin*) offers both charm and functionality, ideal for displaying fine objects or organizing writing accessories. With its flowing lines and balanced proportions, this piece is not only a practical writing desk but also a testament to the artistry of French furniture-making at its finest. A true collector’s item, it brings timeless elegance to any interior.
