18th century solid oak desk with drawer

This antique Italian desk table embodies the elegance and sophistication typical of Louis XV period furniture from the mid-18th century. Crafted from solid oak, the desk combines a rustic aesthetic with the sophisticated, flowing curves typical of this era. The graceful wavy lines are highlighted by the curved legs of the desk and the wavy band that adorns the top, distinctive characteristics of the Louis XV style that give a sense of fluidity and lightness to the piece. The desk has a generously sized top and a practical drawer. Although it was originally intended to be placed against a wall, the band's eye-catching decorative pattern continues to the back, allowing it to double as a room centerpiece. Restored.
