Triptych of carved and pure gold-gilded wood panels – Louis XVI style – Early 19th century An elegant early 19th-century triptych of letter holders, crafted from finely carved wood and gilded with pure gold, in the refined style of Louis XVI. The triptych consists of a larger central writing desk and two smaller side pieces, perfectly coordinated in design and decoration. The frames feature refined ornamentation with plant motifs, carved volutes, and scrolls, along with elegant openwork cymatia and feet shaped like acanthus leaves. The harmonious and well-proportioned composition evokes the neoclassical decorative repertoire of the 18th century.
