About the Item
This refined Maison Jansen attributed Louis XVI–style writing desk is an elegant expression of neoclassical French design, combining sophisticated materials with timeless architectural form. Finished in a deep black lacquer, the desk is crowned with a richly gold-tooled embossed leather writing surface, offering both visual luxury and a smooth, practical workspace. The leather top is framed by subtle gilt borders, enhancing its tailored and stately appearance.
The desk features three functional drawers, each fitted with finely cast bronze mounts and rosette pulls, providing discreet storage for writing instruments, documents, or personal effects. Additional bronze swag mounts accent the sides, while delicate gilt details highlight the transitions between surfaces. These bronze embellishments add warmth and contrast, elevating the desk’s overall presentation.
Slender tapered legs with gilt sabots reinforce the classical Louis XVI aesthetic, lending the piece a light, balanced stance despite its substantial construction. The clean lines, restrained ornamentation, and symmetry are hallmarks of the style, inspired by ancient Greek and Roman architecture.
Perfectly proportioned, this desk is ideal for use as a writing table, executive desk, or elegant vanity, equally suited for a study, library, bedroom, or formal living space. Its versatile scale allows it to function beautifully without overwhelming a room.
A timeless and luxurious Louis XVI bronze-mounted leather-top desk, offering classic French sophistication, functional design, and enduring decorative appeal. We will need to find a key. Drawers are locked. Remind me so we take care of this!
