About the Item

Exquisite antique Louis XV-style writing desk, crafted in rosewood veneer with marquetry inlays and adorned with gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts. The serpentine silhouette, slender cabriole legs, and brass gallery on the top define the refined elegance typical of 19th-century French craftsmanship. The slant-front lid is decorated with a delicate floral marquetry motif featuring a musical trophy — finely detailed and surrounded by an inlaid line border. Inside, there are small drawers and writing compartments. The piece demonstrates the lightness and grace of the Rococo revival, ideal for use as a decorative writing desk, hallway accent, or vanity piece.
