This cylinder desk is an exquisite example of Louis XV furniture renowned for its elegance and refinement.
It opens with a cylinder veneered with a satin-finish mahogany four-leaf open book with wide lemon-tree fillets and a mitered rosewood frame.
It simultaneously actuates the opening of a dark shelf in red, later leather, adorned with gilded vignettes and motifs, adding a touch of luxury.
Four interior drawers in mahogany and light wood, fitted with lens knobs, and three horizontal niches, offer practical and aesthetic storage solutions.
The curved belt features a wide drawer with mascarons and pull rings. The presence of the original lock, with its key and keyhole, underlines the authenticity and historical value of this piece of furniture.
The top of this piece features a slightly concave section, adding softness to the lines.
The sides are carved in the same spirit, with a rosewood frame and central mahogany veneer.
The unit rests on four curved legs with brass sabots.
This cylinder desk is more than just a functional, well-sized piece of furniture; it's a collector's item that testifies to the craftsmanship of cabinetmakers and the aesthetics of its era.
