An authentic, signed Louis Majorelle (1859–1926) Art Nouveau desk, crafted in France circa 1900. A masterwork of the École de Nancy, this piece reflects Majorelle’s distinctive artistry — fluid lines, organic elegance, and impeccable craftsmanship.
Executed in richly figured mahogany, the desk features a shaped writing surface with the original tooled leather insert, surmounted by an elegantly curved gallery with two small drawers and open compartments. The sculptural uprights, elongated cabriole legs, and original gilt-bronze pulls with botanical flourishes embody the naturalistic sophistication of the period. The piece is signed “L. Majorelle, Nancy” inside the drawer, ensuring its authenticity.
Owning a work like this is not simply acquiring a desk — it is staking a claim in a rarefied realm of taste and connoisseurship. Most will never see, let alone possess, an original Majorelle of this caliber. Your appreciation for design of this order speaks to a cultivated eye — the kind that recognizes art as something to be lived with, not just admired in museums. This is a piece for someone who does not follow trends, but sets them.
