Louis XVI Black-Lacquer Writing Desk with Cognac Leather Top

An elegant Louis XVI–style antique writing desk, restored with great sensitivity to preserve its original French refinement. Crafted with a black lacquered body, framed in delicate gilt mouldings, the piece features a timeless hand-tooled cognac leather top showcasing a naturally developed patina — the hallmark of genuine age and craftsmanship.

Its fluted tapering legs, brass hardware, and balanced proportions reflect the understated sophistication of the Louis XVI period.

This is an authentic antique, and therefore presents light, age-appropriate surface marks on the leather and wood — subtle signs of history that enhance its character rather than diminish it. The desk has been professionally re-touched to revive its charm while maintaining its integrity.
