Graceful cabriole legs, a shaped apron, molded drawer fronts, and traditional brass fittings give the piece its refined French-inspired character. Five dovetailed drawers provide generous storage, while pull-out leather-topped side slides extend the work surface and add practical versatility. Dating to circa the 1950's, the desk remains in original vintage condition, preserving the character and finish acquired through decades of use. Our team carefully inspects the piece for stability and functionality, checking the legs, joints, drawers, hardware, and pull-out features to ensure everything operates properly while respecting its original vintage character. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFun Historical Fact \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJohn Widdicomb was a distinguished Grand Rapids, Michigan furniture maker whose history traces back to the 19th century. Grand Rapids became one of America's most important centers for fine furniture production, with manufacturers there developing a reputation for skilled cabinetmaking and sophisticated design. John Widdicomb produced both historically inspired furniture and modern designs, allowing traditional European styles to remain relevant in changing American interiors. This desk reflects that tradition through its adaptation of Louis XV forms, combining graceful French-inspired ornament with the functionality expected of a mid-century executive writing desk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Supply","offers":[{"title":"Fruitwood \/ Brown \/ Louis XV","offer_id":45223812399304,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1272\/3144\/files\/1_a9e4a683-dfa4-478f-be2f-adc34e7632ea.jpg?v=1790629377","url":"https:\/\/vintagesupplystore.com\/products\/john-widdicomb-louis-xv-fruitwood-leather-top-writing-desk-with-pull-out-side-slides-c-1950s","provider":"Vintage Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
