Cylinder-shaped Desk With Inlay On All Sides—louis XVI Style—floral Design

A very elegant Louis XVI-style cylinder desk, featuring rich wood inlay work in various woods on all sides.

The front is particularly decorative, with its cylinder entirely inlaid with scrollwork, garlands, and floral compositions, arranged around a central medallion.

The top, sides, drawers, and legs are also adorned with delicate inlaid motifs, giving the piece a remarkable decorative unity.

Opening the cylinder reveals a well-organized interior featuring compartments, shelves, and two small inlaid drawers.

A wide drop-down panel forms the work surface, trimmed in the center with fawn-colored leather featuring a gilded border.

The upper section features three small drawers, while the lower section has five drawers, providing ample storage space.

The desk rests on four tapered straight legs, also decorated with marquetry.

The quality and abundance of the marquetry—which extends even to the sides and back—allow this desk to be placed either against a wall or in the center of a room.
