Rolltop Desk
Veneto, Louis XVI (Directory)
Period 1790 approx.
Walnut, cherry and walnut veneer
Dimensions 125 x 60 height 115
Elegant desk with rolltop that can be opened to reveal a large internal compartment with two small side drawers.
On the front, a large drawer under the top and two other small drawers on the sides of the chair compartment.
The body is supported by four slender and thin legs with a slight movement, typical of the Venetian Louis XVI style towards the Directory.
As was customary in late 18th century Venetian production, it is entirely made of walnut and cherry wood, with splendid veins arranged masterfully in symmetrical patterns.
The furniture is decorated with elegant geometric inlays and neoclassical frets that further embellish it.
The desk is absolutely authentic from the 1700s in every part, including the Louis XVI style handles and working locks.
The excellent condition allows us to present it in its current state without restorations, and to evaluate a possible polishing intervention upon customer request.
