This exceptional Louis XV-style Rosewood bureau plat (writing or office desk) features a hand-tooled leather top and its adorned with elaborate ormolu (gilt bronze) mounts, including corner embellishments with expressive female masks, scrolling acanthus leaves, and floral motifs, all meticulously detailed. A tooled green leather writing surface is framed by a brass border, complementing the warm tones of the rosewood. With its graceful cabriole legs and three spacious drawers, this bureau plat is both a statement of elegance and a functional masterpiece. Desks like this were originally designed for the private studies of aristocrats or high-ranking officials – one of this quality would have been a commissioned work for a grand châteaux or important residence.
