19th Century French Renaissance Barley Twist Writing Table

Price: $2,980

19th Century French Renaissance Barley Twist Writing Table makes the perfect choice for a student desk, a family room, or a library!  Hand-crafted from dense, old-growth oak, it features clockwise & counter-clockwise barley twist columns in a doubled pattern on each side for support, as well as across its width to reinforce the uprights.  The feet consist of scrolled legs carved with lions' heads.  The top is a solid plank design to provide decades of daily use, and is edged with hand-carved demilune foliate motif.  The shallow casework is carved in relief on all four sides, with a lion's head flanked by scrolled foliates, and the full width drawer utilizes a lion's head as a pull.  Four turned pendant finals adorn each corner for a fine finishing touch.
