This slant-top desk, crafted by Jean-François Hache between 1755 and 1770, is a fine example of French Rococo furniture. The desk's intricate marquetry, featuring delicate floral motifs and swirling patterns, showcases the craftsmanship of the period. The graceful cabriole legs, a hallmark of Rococo design, contribute to the desk's elegance. This piece was designed for a private residence, showcasing the artistic sensibilities of the wealthy elite during the 18th century.
