French Ormolu Louis XV Style Bureau Plateau With French Louis XVI Style Upholstered Gilt Chair. 

French Ormolu Louis XV Style Bureau Plateau 

This elegant writing desk is crafted in the opulent Louis XV style, showcasing a richly veneered wood surface adorned with gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts. The desk features a serpentine front and gracefully cabriole legs, all framed with intricately cast bronze detailing, including acanthus leaves, floral motifs, and crowned cartouches.

The central drawer is flanked by two side drawers, each accented with raised gilt mounts and shaped panels that echo the curved architecture of the desk. The desk’s top edge is finished with a gilt bronze band, lending a refined boundary to the piece.

Floral appliqués, figural mounts at the knees, and paw-form sabots enhance the luxurious aesthetic, reflecting the craftsmanship and decorative artistry associated with 18th-century French furniture traditions.

Louis XVI-style side chair

The chair frame is elaborately carved and finished with gilding, a hallmark of late 18th-century French neoclassical taste. Fluted legs with rosettes at the corner blocks—classic Louis XVI design. The striped and floral damask-style fabric is in keeping with period reproduction choices (though likely more modern than the frame). The squared but gently curved top and upright back are characteristic of Louis XVI chairs.

Desk Size: 49 x 25 1/2 x 30 1/2 in.
