Large, Flat Walnut Desk – Louis XV Style

Large flat walnut desk – Louis XV style – 20th century
Dimensions: H 76 × W 140 × D 79 cm

An elegant Louis XV-style flat-top desk in walnut, featuring beautiful, flowing lines and generous proportions. Crafted entirely from walnut, it captivates with the quality of its wood, its warm patina, and its curved forms characteristic of 18th-century French furniture.

The front features five drawers: a wide central drawer flanked by two side sections, each containing one small and one large drawer. The fronts are molded and carved with scalloped recesses, embellished with bronze handles and lock plates. The sides, fully finished, are decorated with molded and carved panels, making it suitable for display in the center of a room.

The desk rests on four elegant, arched legs richly carved with foliage and shells, connected by a finely crafted band. The large tabletop offers a spacious work surface and highlights the beautiful grain of the walnut.

The piece features a beautiful original patina with a few discreet signs of wear, consistent with its age, without compromising its aesthetics or sturdiness. The drawers slide smoothly, and the piece is in good overall condition.

With its generous dimensions and timeless elegance, this desk will fit perfectly in an office, a library, or a classic interior, while also blending seamlessly into a more contemporary decor thanks to the sophistication of its lines.
