Crafted in the Perigord region of France circa 1780, and built of walnut, this antique Louis XIII-style walnut table desk exemplifies the bold proportions and sculptural detailing of 18th-century French design. The rectangular top rests over a single deep drawer fitted with a forged iron ring pull, providing practical storage with understated elegance.
The standout feature is the richly turned barley twist legs, joined by similarly carved stretchers that enhance both stability and symmetry. The solid walnut construction has developed a warm, lustrous patina over centuries of use, with subtle surface wear adding to its authentic character.
Measuring 39 inches wide by 23.75 inches deep and 29.75 inches high, this compact antique desk is perfect for use as a writing table, console, or side piece in a study, bedroom, or entryway.
