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.

A bureau plat is a French flat-top writing desk introduced in the late seventeenth century. It typically features a large rectangular top inset with leather, a frieze containing shallow drawers, and decorative metal mounts.

Traditional bureau plats are crafted from hardwoods such as mahogany, kingwood, or tulipwood veneers. They commonly feature gilt-bronze or brass mounts, along with a embossed leather writing insert on the top surface.

Louis XVI style furniture is identified by Neoclassical design principles, including geometric symmetry, straight lines, fluted or tapered legs, and decorative classical motifs such as laurel wreaths and rosette mounts.

A bureau plat can serve as a standalone focal point in a home office, study, or living area. Its open space underneath and finished back allow it to be placed in the centre of a room rather than against a wall.

Keep the desk away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent timber warping and leather drying. Apply a suitable leather conditioner periodically and dust the woodwork and metal fittings with a soft dry cloth.
