Description

An exceptionally good quality French c19th Louis xv style bureau plat in kingwood throughout and superb quality brass mounts to all sides and with the legs finished with sabot mounts.

The condition is excellent and has a wonderful colour tone and the brass has cleaned beautifully too, which contrasts with the kingwood so well.

The pale sage green leather top is also, in my opinion, in lovely condition. As you can see, there are marks to it and an ink stain, but this does give it great character and reminds you that this piece can be used and not just looked at!

The craftsmanship to this piece really is on the highest order, no doubt at all that this is the best bureau plat I have had the pleasure of handling. Such a decorative piece, fantastic condition and great quality.

This piece can be used in a number of positions, as a bureau plat, a dressing table, a sofa table, a console table etc.
