Desk 1765 - 1775

This Rococo-style desk, created by Joseph Baumhauer between 1765 and 1775, features exquisite marquetry, floral motifs, and gilded bronze mounts. It's a testament to the craftsmanship of the 18th century, reflecting the elegance and refinement of the era. The desk’s porcelain plaques, likely from the Sèvres manufactory, showcase delicate floral patterns, further enhancing its decorative appeal. Today, it resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a testament to Baumhauer’s skill and the enduring beauty of Rococo design.
