EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Late Louis XV bureau plat, dating back to the third quarter of the 18th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of Jacques Birckle (1734-1803) or attributed to him, this exquisite piece is a testament to the opulence and elegance of its time. Made from tulipwood, amaranth, leather, and parquetry, this bureau plat features intricate ormolu mounts that add a touch of grandeur. Its rectangular form is complemented by a green leather top with embossed edges, adding both functionality and beauty to the piece. Measuring 79x165x87.3 cm in size, this neo-classical writing desk exudes sophistication with its geometric parquetry design and wooden inlay work. The combination of rococo elements from the Louis XV era with neoclassical influences creates a harmonious blend that epitomizes French craftsmanship at its finest. Currently held in a private collection, this remarkable bureau plat has been converted from its original cylinder form into an elegant rectangular shape. The photograph captures every detail flawlessly thanks to eChristies Images' expertise. With its rich history and timeless appeal, this stunning piece serves as a reminder of an era when furniture was not only functional but also considered works of art.
