This rare Venetian painted writing desk from the late 1700s is a striking example of Rococo elegance. The serpentine front features six drawers adorned with original gilt-bronze hardware and accompanied by four original keys, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. Delicate hand-painted foliate swags decorate the shaped sides, which gracefully curve into relief-carved profile medallions, adding artistic depth and character.

The desk’s refined color palette and softly aged finish reflect its 18th century Italian origins, while the generous proportions offer both functionality and style. This antique Venetian desk makes a distinctive statement piece for a library, study, or sophisticated living space, blending old-world artistry with enduring charm.
