The present bureau plat, exquisitely constructed by Paul Sormani, is a replica of the model created by Guillaume Benneman circa 1787 for Louis XVI’s library at Fontainebleau. The original, designed with four legs, was then placed in the cabinet de travail at the Tuileries where it was used by Napoleon, Queen Marie-Amélie and the Empress Eugénie. It is today in the collections of the Louvre (OA 5329).
