The curved legs, the profiled oak top, and the black lacquered frame create a clearly proportioned, cohesive appearance. Historical context: small desks of this type date back to the ladies' writing desks of the 18th century, which were used for correspondence in salons and private living quarters. In the 20th century, such designs were mass-produced in france as period furniture and found their way into middle-class homes as lightweight, versatile tables. This style combines a sophisticated design with compact dimensions and was intended for living spaces where a full-size secretary desk would have been too large. Features: a glass top, precisely cut to fit the curved contour of the tabletop, is included. A drawer in the frame with a brass knob. Design: the table adheres to the design principles of the louis xv: curved cabriole legs, a frame with multiple cutouts, and a profiled tabletop edge with curved corners. The two-tone design – a natural oak top over a black lacquered frame – graphically accentuates the frame's lines and clearly divides the structure into top and base. Dimensions: height 74 × width 89 × depth 63 cm. Material and condition: oak top, black lacquered frame and legs, brass drawer knob, matching glass top protector. Used condition, inspected and cleaned by kastellan, with age-appropriate signs of wear.
