Item description

Splendid Louis XVI-style writing desk, a typical expression of late 18th-century Tuscan cabinetmaking. This piece of furniture stands out for the exceptional quality of the inlays and the refined neoclassical line. Materials and Processing: Structure: Walnut and cherry veneer. Inlays: The top and front are richly decorated with contrasting geometric and floral inlays, using light wood, dil boxwood, to create a striking visual effect. Floor: The upper surface has a central octagonal reserve that encloses a delicate and symmetrical floral and leafy scroll decoration. The edge features a herringbone frame. Front: There is a drawer in the band, also embellished with geometric inlays and completed by a brass ring handle. Style and Features: Line: Typical of the Louis XVI style, characterized by a rigorous structure, straight and clean lines that replace the curves of Rococo. Legs: Tapered and slender (pin legs), which give lightness and elegance to the entire structure. State of Conservation: The piece of furniture is in an excellent general state of conservation, with a beautiful patina and shellac polish.
