Called a bureau plat by the French in deference to its storage being limited to a drawer tier, desks such as this splendidly preserved example are ideal for 21st century libraries, studies and offices since they're the perfect platform for a computer workstation. Store software and stationery alike in the generously proportioned drawers, if you like. Embellished by the barley twist legs & stretchers with finial, the drawer tier is adorned with bold acanthus rosettes on each cornerpost and carved foliates on the drawer facades.
Circa 1840s.
