About the Item

This elegant Louis XV bureau plat, dating from circa 1750, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of its time. Constructed from tulipwood and kingwood, the desk features a luxurious leather top that provides a sophisticated writing surface.

The piece stands gracefully on four cabriole legs, which are characteristic of the Louis XV style, adding to its fluid and organic form. Stamped "E.H.B." for Edward Holmes Baldock, a noted English cabinetmaker renowned for his quality work, this bureau plat bears later mounts that complement its classic aesthetic, making it a refined addition to any elegant interior. This bureau plat serves not only as a functional writing desk but also as a statement piece, embodying the grace and refinement of the Louis XV style, ideal for collectors and lovers of fine furniture.
