Small Walnut Veneered Desk Inlaid With Different Woods, Tuscany, Late 18th Centu

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This late 18th-century Tuscan writing desk is constructed with a walnut veneer and detailed with contrasting inlaid woods that define its linear edges and emphasize its geometric clarity. The desk features a sliding upper surface that reveals a fitted interior with small compartments and a blue leather writing panel framed by additional inlay. The leather shows expected wear consistent with age, but remains intact and functional. The exterior presents a clean, rectangular profile supported by tapered legs, each shaped with restrained classical influence typical of Tuscan furniture from the period.

The combination of veneered walnut, fine stringing, and a practical internal layout reflects both decorative refinement and utility. Its compact scale makes it suitable for a study, bedroom, or living space where a functional antique is appropriate without overwhelming the room. The desk retains its original character while offering practical use as a writing surface or display piece, illustrating precise craftsmanship and regional Italian design.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
