Description:
Superb desk (bureau plat) in the Louis XV style. This wonderful desk was created by the Karges, one of the top 10 American furniture companies of the 20th century. The desk is embellished with chinoiserie decoration to all four sides and is further detailed with a leather top surface and beautiful brass sabots and embellishments. Desks of this quality are rare and in this excellent condition, almost unheard of. There are a couple of spots where the lacquer has had a minor touch-up; the surface leather is in excellent original condition. The reverse of the desk is identical to the front (excepting the "dummy" drawers) and is beautifully decorated with chinoiserie. The bureau plat includes its original Karges side chair and the chair seat can be upholstered in your fabric at no additional cost. This is a beautiful and unique desk (bureau plat) and is ready to go to its new home. It has a very competitive price point. (Karges continues to fabricate this desk in the smaller 48" model. The new desks are priced at $13,500/retail)  The desk includes its original chair which can be upholstered in your fabric at no charge. Thanks for visiting.
