Writing table (bureau plat)
Not on view
Enormously productive, Bernard II van Risenburgh, the maker of this important writing table was the leading cabinetmaker during Louis XV’s reign. He was one of the most important suppliers of furniture to the Crown. His work shows not only confidence and elegance but generally also a beautiful balance between the gilt-bronze mounts and the surface decoration. He signed his pieces with his initials: B.V.R.B.
