We have a large selection of French desks – Empire style, Louis XV, Louis Philippe, Boulle Desks – all viewable in our Hertfordshire warehouse so please contact us for an appointment
You can’t beat French furniture for style and elegance, particularly in their designs of desks. Our French Empire kidney bean shaped bureau plat is one of our most popular desks.
Our selection of Boulle Desks are also popular. Boulle, André Charles (1642-1732) was a French furniture designer, who developed a style of furniture inlay that came to be known as Boulle or Buhl. As cabinetmaker to Louis XIV, he produced desks, cabinets, clocks, chests, and even parquet floors, working in an ornate Baroque style. He is especially noted for highly coloured inlays of exotic woods cut to shapes that form arabesques, landscapes, or flowing draperies.
