Jean Henri Riesenerca. 1775
Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
From 1774 to 1784 Riesener was the leading court cabinetmaker to King Louis XVI, Queen Marie Antoinette and their family. This elegant writing desk is a relatively plain example of his work. It is adorned with marquetry of roses, and was probably meant to be used by a woman.
