French Art Deco Writing Desk
A refined example of French Art Deco design, this original 1930s writing desk combines symmetry, craftsmanship, and subtle luxury. Crafted in rich mahogany with fluted side panelling and elegant tapering legs, it features a deep-toned leather writing surface and original brass escutcheons and heavy cast bronze sabots.
The desk offers three front-facing drawers, including a central locking drawer, with delicately inlaid borders and cast brass hardware. The stepped scalloped detailing along the side panels gives the piece rhythm and movement, showcasing Deco style at its most architectural and elegant.
Both functional and collectable, this piece is ideal for interior designers or collectors seeking a high-impact desk with authentic early 20th-century French charm.
