About the Item

This French-made writing desk is executed in solid mahogany wood and designed in the Louis XVI–style Neoclassical tradition, offering a refined balance of classical structure and clean-lined restraint. Featuring a leather-inset writing surface with gilt tooling and brass hardware, the desk presents timeless proportions that transition seamlessly between traditional and transitional interiors. The straight, tapered legs and symmetrical drawer configuration reflect classic French craftsmanship, while the uncluttered silhouette and warm mahogany tone allow the piece to integrate effortlessly into updated, design-forward spaces. The leather top adds both visual richness and functional appeal, making the desk suitable for use as a writing desk, home office desk, library table, or refined console. A commemorative plaque affixed to one of the sides references Pierre de Coubertin, honoring the founder of the modern Olympic Games and indicating this desk was produced as a special French re-edition. Condition: The desk requires refinishing and shows visible surface wear, including scratches, scuffs, finish loss, wear to the leather insert, and patina to the brass hardware, as shown in the images. Structurally sound and offered as-is, it presents an excellent opportunity for restoration or customization. Dimensions: Width: 50.50 in Depth: 25.38 in (25 3/8 in) Height: 30.88 in (30 7/8 in) A versatile French Louis XVI–style mahogany desk that bridges classic elegance with modern livability—ideal for traditional, transitional, or curated eclectic interiors seeking warmth, history, and architectural clarity.
