Antique
Sylvie Favorite
Wood
19th c. Artists Desk
France, 19th Century
$1,995
This long,, historic desk carries all the signs of studio life. The oak top is made from wide planks and stained a deep black, with a single narrow slot and a few errant paint drips that hint at years of creative use. The legs still hold traces of their original brown paint, and two drawers on the working side kept brushes, pencils and tools close at hand. Found by Sylvie in France from an artists studio, it now makes an excellent writing desk.

Notes from Sylvie:
This one is a favorite. It has some tiger striped quarter-sawn grain on the wide plank dark table top, compete with splits from years of use. There is residual brown paint on the legs. This is the kind of patina and craftsmanship that is so hard to find.
