This elegant Louis XVI-style writing-desk is crafted from walnut with boxwood inlays, enhanced by a herringbone veneer that creates refined colour contrasts thanks to the alternating grain patterns. The interiors are in oak, and the drawers feature hand-crafted dovetail joints.  The top is rectangular in shape, covered in leather in a warm cream-beige colour, embossed with a gold fretwork pattern along the edges, within a wooden frame. It features two small side tops with bronze knobs, two practical pull-out shelves on each side, also covered in leather, which allow the work surface to be extended by 28 cm on each side.  This 19th-century French bureau plat rests on four slender truncated-pyramid legs ending in bronze feet, in typical Louis XVi style. This antique centre desk is compact in size, making it extremely versatile; it does not need to be placed against a wall, but can be positioned in the centre of a room as the back features the same decorative finish as the front. Small armchairs are often placed behind the desk for visitors.  This elegant antique French piece comes from a private collection in Milan and it is In good condition, with previous restoration work and minimal signs of wear consistent with its 19th-century age and use."}
