About the Item

WRITING STAND IN ROGNON (KIDNEY) FORM French, late 19th century 34 7/8” W x 18 1/2” D (at feet) x 29 3/8” H A refined late 19th-century French writing stand, designed in a graceful rognon (kidney) form that allows a writer to sit closely and work with ease. The top displays an intricate marquetry bouquet arranged within a circular reserve, surrounded by a field of geometric parquetry and enclosed within an endless loop border. A brass band follows the undulating outline of the top, emphasizing its sculptural shape. Veneered throughout in golden kingwood, the table features a single drawer, fitted with hand-cut dovetail joinery, opening to reveal compartments intended for inkwells and a pen. The base is light and architectural, formed by pierced and scrolled supports that meet a shaped stretcher and terminate in small brass casters. Condition: Minor veneer chips and scuffs, light edge wear. Discolorations to the kingwood veneers here and there. Sturdy and stable, ready for regular functional use in the home. ref. 803NCR07-1 About silla antiques art Established in 2009, we have available in our 9000 square foot brick-and-mortar gallery an ever-changing selection of carefully curated and catalogued furniture, decorative arts, paintings, sculpture and estate jewelry.
