Louis XV Desks
LOUIS XV STYLE
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, asymmetrical shapes and rounded oval seat backs. The furnishings changed throughout the king’s life, as he ascended to the throne as a child and then grew to establish his own tastes.
Pieces like the bergère, an upholstered armchair with a wide cushion that fit the flowing dresses in fashion at the time, reflected this more informal court. Introduced at the start of Louis XV’s reign, bergère chairs in this style were deeper and broader than other chairs of the period.
Louis XV tapestries and carpets tended to be floral and colorful, and design elements were borrowed from Asia. Dutch-born cabinetmaker Bernard van Risenburgh brought lacquer techniques influenced by Japan and China into his luxuriously made furniture. Along with its fine details, the furniture of the era also featured new innovations including mechanical devices. Jean François Oeben, a royal cabinetmaker, created such intricate pieces as a mechanical table for Madame de Pompadour, Louis XV’s mistress. It involved a sliding top and a writing surface that extended from its marquetry panels.
During the later years of Louis XV’s reign, there was a shift from the ostentatious rocaille style, part of the exuberantly decorative Rococo movement in Europe for which designers such as Nicolas Pineau and Juste-Aurèle Meissonier are known. The style under Louis XVI would return to boxier forms, but with a neoclassical touch inspired by the ancient world.

Exceptional Louis XV Mazarin Bureau Plat with Fine Marquetry and Gilt Bronze
Located in Antwerp, BE
An exceptional Italian Louis XV / Louis XVI style Mazarin bureau plat, crafted circa 1990, featuring exquisite hand-finished floral marquetry and meticulously applied gilt bronze mounts.
A true statement piece for luxurious interiors and refined settings. This magnificent Italian Mazarin-style bureau plat is a masterwork of craftsmanship in the tradition of the 18th-century French ébénistes, inspired by the renowned François Linke. The Mazarin form is defined by multiple drawers on each side, a central drawer over a door compartment, and elegantly curved cabriole legs joined by a marquetry-adorned stretcher — all present in this refined and balanced design. The desk is richly decorated with intricate hand-finished floral marquetry and classical scroll motifs on the top, sides, and drawer fronts, executed in carefully selected contrasting woods with extraordinary precision and polish.
The gracefully curved legs and cross-stretcher are further enhanced with delicate inlay work and finished with meticulously applied gilt bronze mounts and rosettes. The nine curved drawers, framed in decorative inlay, are fitted with ornate gilt bronze wreath pulls that add to the refined opulence of the piece.
This is a collector’s masterpiece that elevates traditional interiors and seamlessly complements elegant Hollywood Regency spaces, offering timeless sophistication and grand presence. Perfect for luxury residences, distinguished offices, grand libraries, or boutique hotel lobbies.
