description: A beautifully elegant antique French Louis XV style Bonheur du Jour, exquisitely crafted with richly figured walnut and kingwood veneers, intricate parquetry and crossbanding, decorative ebony and satinwood stringing, and finely cast gilt bronze ormolu mounts. Raised on graceful cabriole legs terminating in original ormolu sabots, this delightful bureau embodies the elegance and craftsmanship associated with fine French furniture. The sloping fall-front opens to reveal a wonderfully fitted interior with shaped pigeonholes, shelves and four small drawers, creating the perfect space for writing letters, organising stationery or displaying treasured collections. Beneath the writing surface are three generously sized drawers, each retaining its original ornate gilt bronze handles and escutcheons. Every elevation of the bureau has been carefully finished, with beautifully book-matched veneer panels framed by delicate decorative stringing, demonstrating the exceptional attention to detail throughout. The richly figured walnut and kingwood veneers create a striking geometric pattern across the fall-front and sides, while the warm honey and chestnut tones have mellowed beautifully over time, giving the bureau an inviting warmth and unmistakable French character. Whether placed in a bedroom, library, hallway or drawing room, this elegant bureau is as practical as it is decorative, making a wonderful statement piece for both period and contemporary interiors.
