Louis XV desk in solid oak, mid-18th century















This antique Italian writing desk embodies the elegance and refinement typical of Louis XV period furniture from the mid-18th century. Made of solid oak, the desk combines a rustic aesthetic with the sophisticated, flowing curves characteristic of the era. The graceful sinuous lines are highlighted by the desk's curved legs and the wavy band underneath the top, distinctive elements of the Louis XV style that give the piece a sense of fluidity and lightness. The desk offers a large work surface, making it a functional and elegant addition to a study or office. Practicality is further enhanced by a convenient front drawer, ideal for storing writing instruments and other essentials. Desks similar to this can find a place not only in offices or studies, but in any room of the house where a useful writing surface is desired, whether in the living room or bedroom. Although originally intended to be placed against a wall, the attractive decorative motif of the band continues on the back, allowing it to serve as the centrepiece of a room, attracting attention and admiration. The recent conservative restoration has kept the visible signs of ageing intact, thus preserving the desk's historical character. All structural problems, including those related to the feet, were also carefully resolved to ensure its stability and durability. Thanks to our restoration, this beautiful desk is ready to be immediately integrated into your furniture. We are available for a price negotiation and can organise worldwide shipping.
