About the Item

Elegant writing desk entirely veneered in walnut, embellished with walnut burl and inlays made with fruitwood. The writing desk features period-typical truncated pyramid legs and a sliding top. This makes the piece comfortable to sit on, without necessarily being inserted into the cabinet itself. Opening it reveals the writing surface, complete with a red leather-covered lectern. This also slides in the center and at the sides, revealing four secret drawers ideal for storing objects. The piece also features five drawers on the front and is open, as the masterful inlays can also be admired on the back. The inlays are highly refined, featuring geometric motifs and the classic fan shape on the edges, lending a superior elegance. This is a piece of great taste and refinement, capable of adding a touch of class and antique appeal to any space. Central Italian manufacture from the Louis XVI period, around the end of the 18th century. Dimensions: H x W x D 83 x 123 x 65.5cm; D open 102.5cm
