Antique Louis XVI burl walnut desk with inlays in precious exotic woods. Lombardy, 18th century.

Antique Louis XVI Lombard drop-leaf desk plated in walnut root with inlays in precious exotic woods belonging to the 18th century.

The front is marked by two large drawers with a rose window in the centre, while the one above is smaller and highlighted by garlands.

In the two lower drawers the separation is not highlighted, thus creating a large mirror with the dark and shiny splendor of the walnut with the veneer arranged in a fishbone pattern.

The flap door has the same decoration as the part below but in smaller proportions which closes a decoration made up of beaded festoons, holding floral motifs.

Inside the flap has six drawers that can be pulled out using contemporary bronze knobs.

The same frame is found on the sides where it frames the same inlay with a beautiful play of woods including walnut, rosewood and rosewood.

The truncated pyramid legs are enriched by the presence of a geometric pattern inlay.

Conditions: To be restored.

Provenance: Lombardy 18th century.
