This writing table (in French bureau plat) by Jean-Henri Riesener (1734-1806) was commissioned in 1777 for the cabinet of Louis XVI at the Petit Trianon.
In form, a writing table is a pedestal desk without the pedestals, having legs instead to hold it up. This is why such tables are sometimes called leg desks.
The writing table is often called a "bureau plat" when it is done in a French style such as Louis XVI, as is the current example.
The flat top, originally lined with black velvet, allowed the king and his ministers to spread out a multitude of documents and unfold maps.
The writing table is also sometimes called a library table, because it was often placed in a home library. This was the room in a house where a gentleman would keep literature and also do his business transactions.
