Two-piece desk set; Netherlands, late 19th century.
Oak wood and glass.
Measurements: 29 x 40 x 21,5 cm (x2).
This two-piece desk set, made in the Netherlands at the end of the 19th century, responds to a sober and functional aesthetic, where the quality of the material and the proportion replace the excessive ornamentation, characteristic of the bourgeois taste of the time.
Executed in oak wood, the set consists of an open organizer with compartments and a writing desk with a hinged lid, which hides an interior space.
The design, with its clean, balanced lines, reflects the influence of Dutch domestic furniture of the late 19th century, marked by rationality and restrained elegance.
