Lit: The flat desk, also known as a “bureau plat” desk, is a type of furniture that enjoyed great popularity in the 18th century, particularly during the reign of Louis XV. It is characterised by its rectangular tabletop and four legs, without side panels. Its history is closely linked to the evolution of French furniture and the rise of the bourgeoisie.
