18th Century Bureau Plat Mahogany France 1780 Writing Desk with Side Drawers
About the Item
A bureau plat from the late 18th century, made around 1780 in the French style, epitomises the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of furniture design from this era. Made from fine mahogany, a popular wood of the era, this piece of furniture exudes an aura of sophistication and style. A bureau plat of this period served not only as a functional piece of furniture, but also as a symbol of its owner's taste and social status. In a sumptuously furnished drawing room or study, it would undoubtedly take centre stage, surrounded by other fine pieces of French furniture art.
This mahogany bureau plat, circa 1780, epitomises the elegance and luxury of late 18th century French furniture design and remains a timeless testament to the master craftsmanship and aesthetic taste of the era.
The bureu plat has got an interesting provenance from an important buissness man in Germany.
