La Fontaine Writing Desk

More than five feet of glowingly polished, solid hardwood luxuriously stretches to create a true investment out of this beautifully burled, 18th-century, French-style heirloom writing desk found only at Toscano. Rising on cabriolet legs toward intricately hand-carved acanthus appliquès and scrolled embellishments, the desktop is fashioned of inlaid, two-tone burl veneers in an intricate geometric pattern that echoes the multi-tiered edges. With three generous brass-knobbed drawers--one with a folding front panel for keyboard use and the others with removable wooden panels for creating extra workspace--our desk is truly a versatile work of furniture art as functional as it is handsome. Simple assembly required. See Additional Views for details. 61"Wx31"Dx30½"H. 125 lbs.
