What is a Rococo desk?

Bureau Console Armoire Chaise

Correct Answer:

Bureau

Explanation:

Rococo furniture is all about light, graceful curves and elaborate ornament. A desk from this style is most often called a bureau, which in French furniture terminology means a writing desk with drawers and a curved, decorative silhouette. The term bureau became the standard label for writing tables in 18th框century Rococo interiors, often with gilded mounts or inlaid surfaces that echo the style’s intricate flair. A console is a shallow wall table meant for display, not primarily for writing. An armoire is a tall cabinet for storage, and a chaise is a long chair for seating. So the desk in Rococo design fits best with bureau.
