About the Item
Finest quality and stunning design Louis XVI style desk, circa 1890.
Owning and using top quality pieces of furniture from times when European craftsmen were at the top of their game is something that will lift your spirit like very few things can. That is ofcourse is you are able to recognize quality. It will remain a mystery why so many people don't seem to see the quality and the details of even the best quality made antiques. This wonderful antique ladies desk in the Style of Louis 16th is supported by four elegant legs with perfect cannelures and turned and gilt bronze feet. When sliding open the roller top, the inner beauty of this desk reveals itself and these amazing details and colors are unlike anything you may have ever seen. The overall design, the combination of the top quality materials (including the luxury wood & gilt bronze style elements), the many pretty practical features (such as the elegant drawers and the striking leather inlay), they all add to the grandeur of this French work of beauty and together they will never fail to impress you or anyone visiting. Finally, inside the large and practical drawer underneath the desktop is the “Mercier Frères, Paris”, maker's mark which confirmed our conviction that this finest quality antique could only have been made by one of France's top furniture makers.

Mercier Freres
Furniture and decor created in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles may have been Maison Mercier Frères’s specialty, but the leading 19th-century firm also earned the patronage of European courts and of Eastern royalty for its elegant custom furniture. In subsequent decades, the Maison also explored the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, retaining its wealthy clientele and gaining loyalty among newcomers to the historic manufacturer.
Providing the Spanish crown, the Persian royal family and much of Europe’s royalty with the highest quality furniture was a main source of revenue for Maison Mercier Frères throughout the 19th century. Founded by Claude Mercier, Maison Mercier Frères participated in major French exhibitions, including the 1844 and 1849 Exposition des produits de l’industrie française and the Universal Expositions in 1867 and 1900.
While it primarily operated out of a manufacturing location on rue Saint-Antoine in Paris, Maison Mercier Frères also established a joint factory in Lyon in 1913 called Mercier & Chaleyssin. A later branch opened in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1914, with another on 59th Street in New York City in 1927. Despite its popularity, a well-placed store on the Champs-Élysées and worldwide branches, the company closed in 1985, leaving behind a treasure trove of expertly made vintage and antique furniture.
