Antique 19th C French Louis XV Style Kingwood Bureau Plat Ormolu Writing Desk
The edit · Furniture
A used piece of furniture. Old furniture was built before flat-pack, with dovetail joints and solid wood you can still smell. It was made to be passed on, not replaced.
What to look for
Dovetail joints and solid wood, never veneer over particleboard. A maker's stamp on the underside is the strongest sign of a real piece.
How to place it
Mix one vintage piece with the modern and let the patina show. A maker's stamp on the underside is the strongest sign of the real thing.
