Description

This exquisite Louis XVI style French secretaire is a masterwork of neoclassical design, blending high-utility storage with opulent craftsmanship. The piece is crowned with a thick, brecciated stone top in variegated ochre and sienna tones, providing a durable and luxurious surface. Its facade features fine book-matched veneers and intricate floral marquetry within classical urn motifs on the lower doors. Above, sliding reeded panels open to reveal shelving, while the central drop-front desk unfolds to a hand-tooled leather writing surface and a meticulous "theater" of small parquetry-inlaid drawers. Standing 55.5 inches tall, 38.5 inches wide, and 16 inches deep, this secretary desk offers a stately presence perfect for a grand library, entryway, or master suite. It is in great vintage condition, showcasing age-appropriate patina that adds to its historical allure, including minor surface scuffs and characteristic wear to the original leather writing surface. The gilded ormolu mounts retain their regal luster, making it a distinguished addition to any curated interior. Don’t miss the opportunity to add this authentic European heirloom to your collection today.
