Desk c. 1750 - 1780

This anonymous, Rococo-style "Desk" from the late 18th century is a stunning example of intricate craftsmanship. Made of richly-grained wood, the desk features a gracefully curved, three-drawer base, a hinged top, and elaborate carved details throughout, including intricate rosettes, scrolled legs, and a decorative central panel. This desk is currently held by the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
