Bureau a la Grec - C&G-
An early neoclassical desk in the style a la grecque, inlaid with wood marquetry depicting Greek keys interlaced between blocs with bronze rosettes, legs decorated with folliate garlands and top of faded green leather.
The "Gout á la Grec" (1750s to late 1760s) as the early neoclassical style was called, was inspired by the ancient Greece, straight lines and full volumes that were combined with motives taken from the ancient, as well as floral or figurative elements such as the figure of Goats or Lions become very prominent, this avant-garde style became the latest fashion among Upper classes in Paris but somehow ignored at the court of Versailles, where the rococo curves perdured longer until the arrival of a more "pure" louis xvi style

Another Nice Piece
This desk is very large and grand. It is finely detailed with really pretty textures. I noticed some faces on the mesh glitching and areas at certain angles with a white texture on them, but otherwise they are able to be overlooked for such a well crafted piece.
