For your consideration is a Late 18th Century Louis XV Petit Writing Desk or Side Table. The style of 18th century French furniture was guided by the court. When Louis XV, who reigned from 1715–74, focused royal life on the smaller salons of Versailles rather than its grand chambers, it transformed the aesthetics away from the imposing and angular furniture that characterized the style of Louis XIV. A broader focus on comfort and more delicate forms define antique Louis XV furniture, with nature-inspired carvings, wood inlays, curved cabriole legs, and asymmetrical shapes. This writing desk has two separate drawers with original brass hardware and keys, sabre-shaped cabriole legs with hoofed feet. All sides have scalloped apron edges, single-slab top. This beautiful table is in very nice preserved condition, the natural condition of the wood is visible consistent with the nature-inspired focus of the Louis XV period. Table measures 25.25"W x 41.75"L x 30.25"H and weighs 45 pounds.
