Louis XVI writing desk in walnut. 18th century

A refined Louis XVI period writing desk from the 18th century, crafted in warm walnut with understated brass trim. This elegant secrétaire features a clean, architectural silhouette characteristic of neoclassical design, with a slanted drop leaf front that opens to reveal a beautifully organized writing interior. Inside, you’ll find four small drawers and an open arched compartment, ideal for stationery or personal items. The writing surface is broad and well proportioned, supported when open by internal brackets. A discreet drawer runs the width of the front apron, enhancing both function and symmetry. The desk is raised on tall, tapering square legs with subtle molded accents, giving the piece a graceful verticality. The surface showcases the natural grain of the walnut, mellowed to a rich, warm tone by time. A wonderful example of 18th-century French craftsmanship, this writing desk blends form and function with timeless elegance, perfect for an intimate study, library, or sophisticated living space.
