Louis XV style writing desk. Gilt bronze, stone. Possibly French school, 19th century. A gilded bronze writing set featuring a metal plate at the bottom and, at the top, decoration based on vegetal, architectural, and other elements, showing a certain classical influence but with a composition and dynamic combination reminiscent of the Rococo style. Raised on scroll-shaped legs, it has two inkwells with hinged lids and a central area revealing a veined stone slab (possibly marble) in a somewhat heart shape, surrounded by vegetal and architectural motifs. There is evidence of another very similar example in a French private collection, something common in this type of work due to the high specialization of bronze workshops in France, who created a series of identical or very similar works which, in turn, they sold to dealers or other workshops to be used in clocks, harnesses, etc., adding elements of porcelain, marble, wood...
