19th c. Chateau Desk
France, 19th Century
$995
STOP, This is the desk you've been looking for! This early 20th-century oak writing table, pulled from a château in Savoie, is all elegant lines and quiet intent. With a slim drawer and tapering legs, it was likely used for letter writing by candlelight, notes folded just so and sealed with wax. Sylvie keeps hers in the hallway, but it also makes for the perfect compact desk space in front of a window, surrounded by linen curtains.

Notes from Sylvie:
