Antique Cylinder Desk

Louis XVI antique cylinder desk, Germany circa 1780.

This beautiful cylinder desk features an exquisite walnut veneer. Exquisite rosewood and maple intarsia  additionally decorate the desk. Behind the cylinder top are five small drawers and an open compartment. The writing top has a walnut veneer.

Historical Background

The Louis XVI style was developed in France during the reign of Louis XVI. Unlike his predecessor Louis XV, the new king preferred stricter forms. No more curved outlines and pompous bronze fittings but a more unpretentious design vocabulary.
The new style marked the triumph of Neoclassicism, which had been underway in Europe since 1770. It reflected the murals and designs found in the early archeological excavations in Herculaneum and Pompei.

Several “ebeniste” of the Louis XVI period in Paris came from the Rhineland. One of the most famous furniture designers of this group was David Roentgen (1743-1807). Roentgen embraced the neoclassical and the Rococo style and had an influence on the cabinet makers in Continental Europe.
The cylinder desk is also called “bureau Kaunitz”. It was introduced in France in the first half of the 18th century by Wenzel Anton von Kaunitz, then the ambassador of the Habsburg Empire to the French court. The French court adopted this type of desk with great enthusiasm. German, Swiss and Austrian cabinetmakers of the late 18th and early 19th century often used the “bureau Kaunitz”
Also read our blog posts about the history and characteristics of Louis XVI furniture and about the origin and development of the desk.
