Elegant late-19th-century French Louis XV-style marquetry writing table with beautifully inlaid veneer and graceful cabriole legs. This piece is believed to have come from my French great-grandmother’s family and has been carefully preserved over generations. The rectangular top features intricate marquetry inlaid veneers bordered with brass banding, raised on four slender tapering legs terminating in brass sabots. Each of the four drawers is functional—three are lined with paper covered in silk, and one is lined with a soft velvet-like fabric, a refined detail typical of fine French craftsmanship of the period.
A sophisticated and versatile piece, this table works beautifully as a writing desk, dressing table, or console, showcasing the graceful proportions, decorative artistry, and timeless elegance characteristic of Louis XV furniture design.
Shipping can be arranged directly through Chairish, which offers white-glove delivery options for larger pieces.
