The piece is crafted from solid walnut or oak with a warm natural patina. Curved cabriole legs with simple pad feet and decorative shaped panel moldings on the front and drawers underscore its Louis XV influence. Traditional brass pulls and keyhole escutcheons complete the look.

The serpentine front and flowing lines make this desk a refined addition to both period-inspired and contemporary interiors. American makers like Davis Cabinet Co., Baker, and Century produced similar high-quality pieces during this era. See less
