Writing desk - Wood, Mahogany - French desk

Elegant center desk (bureau plat) in a Directoire style, made of wood with a veneered top in warm, glossy mahogany tones, bounded by a raised decorative band with rounded corners and small applied ornaments. The front features two groups of drawers — two on the left and two on the right — and a central one, with original bronze-finished metal handles in the shape of a stylized flower. The wood of the front shows a light, tight grain, with fillets and moldings that emphasize its rhythm. The four feet are truncated pyramids, tapering downward, typical of the transition between Directoire and Empire. The upper top has a mirrored finish and shows a light patina of use. Conditions: good overall condition; top glossy with some signs of use and small edge chips, drawers slide smoothly, handles present. Pickup in person available in Rome. For buyers interested in shipping, it is possible to arrange transport via a specialized courier, with costs borne by the buyer and to be estimated based on the destination.
