Antique French Louis XVI Bronze Mounted Writing Table
Located in Forney, TX
A striking French antique Louis XVI style gilt bronze mounted writing table made after the model by cabinetmaker to King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinetteean, important ébéniste Jean-Henri Riesener (German/French, 1734-1806) and later reproduced by Francois Linke (French, 1855-1946). Signed bronze mounts, Marco.
Born in France in the early 19th century, possibly during the late 18th century Louis XVI period, most likely Parisian work, exquisitely hand-crafted in several woods of contrasting colors including walnut and mahogany to create fine wooden inlays and parquetry detailing. The original partially inset marble top with dramatic veining sits above a flat sided break-fronted front and back adorned with fine bas-relief bronze plaques cast adorned with putti cherubs in the manner of the French sculptor Clodion (Claude Michel, 1738-1814).
The centered front bronze panel disguises a single frieze drawer with dovetail joinery and original key, flanked by gilded bronze foliate mounted rounded corners, a simulated panel drawer to the reverse, embellished on all four sides by intricate finely chiseled, chased and sculpted scrolling laurel ribbon and garland swag ormolu mounts, patinated brass running ornamentation, rising elegantly on four bronze dore ring mounted straight tapering fluted legs, terminating in patinated bronze toupie feet sabots. Signed / marks; the bronzes are stamped / incised Marco.

French 19th Century Louis XVI Style Mahogany Desk
Located in Baton Rouge, LA
A wonderful mid-19th century French Louis XVI style mahogany desk hand-crafted in France circa 1850. A beautiful, smooth top of flame mahogany is surrounded by a three quarter decorative brass gallery following down to two open center storage spaces and four roomy drawers in a removable riser. This top piece easily lifts off the base for transport and is affixed with circular, recessed brass escutcheon plates surrounded by Louis XVI style brass bellflower pulls. A second three quarter brass gallery surrounds the writing surface which measures 30” H and is adorned with new black leather with gold gilt tooling. Two sliders on each side of the writing surface are covered with the original leather and extend the desk out 17 ¾” on either side. The apron showcases the handsome veneer and gorgeous colors of the wood and contains four drawers of the same design that open easily. The right side has a singular large drawer that opens to contain a notched wooden privacy slide and a four compartment pull out wooden tray for excellent organization. The whole is raised on regal turned, tapering fluted legs with brass capitals and capped feet. Showcasing an attractive polished mahogany, this desk has fine features, many storage options, and is fully finished on all sides making it a supremely practical piece. Be sure to view all the images to see every detail of this unique antique desk.

Chiffonniere, Writing Table Walnut, Louis XV Style, Period : 19th Century
Located in CRÉTEIL, FR
Adorable little writing case in walnut with inlay, Louis XV style.
It has four high, slender and curved legs.
Its central body is composed of a drawer pull and three rows of drawers under a top tray with wide borders surrounding the back and sides, thus preventing objects from falling out.
The pull-out is covered with green felt.
Each drawer opens with small round pull knobs.
The front and sides are covered with diagonal marquetry.
Period: 19th century.
Dimensions : Height : 69cm x width : 21 x depth : 21cm.
The Louis XV style covers a period from 1725 to 1760, a new and precious style, it is also called Rocaille style because the rocaille remains the preferred ornament, it is also called Rococo style or Pompadour style.
The distinction is made during this period between the furniture of apparat and the usual furniture, it is also the great time of the cabinetmakers, of the floral or geometrical marquetries, of the taste for the exoticism and of the arrival of a number of small pieces of furniture related to the need for comfort, like the secretaries, the dusters, the bedside tables, etc.
Louis XV furniture is a must in the history of decorative arts!
It is referred to as "the moment of perfection of French art".
Even today, while furniture is essentially based on straight lines and parallelepipedal volumes, the curved Louis...
