This elegant 20th-century French Directoire-style desk exemplifies refined craftsmanship and timeless sophistication. Crafted from rich walnut, the desk features clean lines and subtle decorative details characteristic of the Directoire period, with its restrained neoclassical influence. The top is finished with a luxurious leather writing surface, bordered by an embossed gold tooling design, which adds both functionality and a touch of understated elegance.
The desk includes five drawers with finely crafted brass escutcheons and diamond-patterned marquetry on the side panels, enhancing its visual appeal. Additionally, pull-out writing slides on each side provide extra workspace when needed, making this piece both practical and versatile. It rests on tapered legs with brass sabots, a hallmark of Directoire furniture design.
