Antique French Desk

France, 20th Century

$1,595

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Wood

Found in Avignon and dating to the early 20th century, this French desk would have been used for everyday writing - letters, accounts, whatever needed to be put down at the end of the day. The frame is simple and narrow, with a single drawer and a scalloped apron running along the front. The paint has worn back heavily, leaving that soft, crackled surface across the legs and apron, while the top shows the marks of constant use. Sylvie loves it used as it was meant to be - papers spread out, a stack of books off to one side, something half written and left there until you come back to it.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. There is some chipping paint and light staining on the surface, and the piece remains sturdy while still being relatively light.

All items are final sale.
