About the Item

An elegant Louis XVI period writing desk, crafted in northern Italy (Lombardy region) during the 18th century. The desk is executed in walnut and cherrywood, richly inlaid with fine marquetry that reflects the refined neoclassical taste of the Louis XVI era. Its rectangular top displays subtle geometric decoration, framed with linear inlays that emphasize the clean architecture of the piece. A single drawer is seamlessly integrated into the apron, offering discreet storage while maintaining the table’s graceful proportions. The desk rests on four slender, tapered legs, each delicately inlaid to accentuate their verticality and classical simplicity. Combining function with beauty, this writing desk exemplifies the balance, restraint, and harmony of Louis XVI design, making it both a collectible antique and a versatile piece for modern interiors.
