An escritoire is a type of writing desk that typically features a flat writing surface, drawers, and a hinged or slanted top that can be opened to reveal storage space. Often made of wood, it was historically used for writing letters or documents, providing a dedicated space for writing tasks. Escritoires usually have a more decorative and elegant design, with intricate details and sometimes brass hardware. They are typically smaller in size, making them suitable for home offices, libraries, or personal study areas.
