Carved walnut desk with drawers and a central frieze

Desk in carved walnut – Italian cabinetmaking elegance

Description
Elegant desk in carved walnut, the expression of refined craftsmanship and timeless design.

The top is wide and shaped, carefully finished, with a restrained but well-chosen decoration at the centre. The whole is balanced and harmonious.

The front is made up of a run of drawers perfectly integrated into the body. Each drawer is enriched by curved panels that follow its movement.

At the centre stands out a carved shell motif, a sign of elegance and prosperity. It becomes the focal point of the whole composition.

The twisted legs give lift and a sculptural presence, after the Baroque style.
