19th-Century Italian Charles X Walnut Cylinder Desk

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A refined Charles X period cylinder desk in solid walnut, crafted in Italy in the 19th century. The desk features a beautifully curved roll-top that slides open to reveal an interior writing surface, along with small compartments for correspondence and daily necessities. The walnut displays a warm, luminous grain, with natural movement and tonal depth that highlights the gentle curvature of the cylinder form. Below, a central drawer is flanked by two smaller drawers, offering practical storage while maintaining a balanced, architectural silhouette. The desk rests on four elegantly turned legs that provide lightness and lift to the piece. This is a desk designed for both function and poise—quietly elegant without being fragile or precious. Perfect as a writing table in a study, library, or bedroom, it brings the charm of Italian craftsmanship and the grace of the Charles X period into a contemporary interior with ease.
