Odette Collective

Wooden Desk - Italy c. 1880

$2,975.00

A refined Italian writing table from around 1880, with the kind of quiet neoclassical elegance Odette is always drawn to. Crafted in warm fruitwood with lovely figure and color, it has a single frieze drawer dressed with a delicate inlaid swag, fine line stringing tracing the apron and legs, and slim square-tapered legs that give it a light, graceful stance. It's beautifully scaled — substantial enough to write at, slim enough to float behind a sofa or stand against a wall as a console. The wood has aged to a soft, mellow glow that suits both formal and relaxed rooms. Use it as a desk, a hall table, or a vanity. Understated, elegant, and full of Italian polish.
