The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Louis XV style bureau plat is a flat-topped writing table featuring sweeping cabriole legs, serpentine outlines, and decorative gilt-bronze mounts. Emerging in eighteenth-century France, these pieces emphasise organic curves, floral marquetry, and balanced proportions.

Traditional construction relies on a softwood or oak carcass veneered with exotic woods such as kingwood and tulipwood arranged in quarter-cut or herringbone patterns. Decorative accents feature hand-cast gilt bronze ormolu mounts and inlaid marquetry of varied timber tones.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-chased gilt-bronze fittings with maker casting marks or stamps, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and natural age oxidisation on raw timber surfaces beneath the frame. The presence of original locks, keys, and authentic veneering wear also assists verification.

A bureau plat functions effectively as a freestanding desk in a study or as a focal table behind a sofa in a living area. Designers pair its ornate curves with clean contemporary lighting and minimalist seating to create visual contrast.

Maintain wood veneers by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying natural beeswax sparingly along the grain. Clean ormolu mounts using a soft brush to prevent dust accumulation, avoiding harsh chemicals or metal polishes that strip original gilded patination.
