18th Century Baroque Secretaire/ Writing Cabinet Nutwood, Germany ca. 1770
About the Item
Important 18th century secrétaire or writing cabinet elaborately made in the baroque period in West Germany around 1770. Different kinds of fine nutwood/ walnut were used to set up a very unique design. Fantastic looking fields of rarely used poplarwood surrounded by delicate, inlayed ebonized fruitwood threads on the front create a really dramatic appearance. The amazing grain of this poplarwood can also be found in the inlayed frames on both sides which are following the shape of this exceptional baroque cabinet/ secretaire. The lower section, an outstanding crafted commode, contains three large drawers and a folding writing surface with additional eight small drawers and a middle compartment in the back. The attached upper part offers a large, lockable 2-parts door hiding another ten drawers, a middle compartment with lockable door as well as a larger storage compartment under the beautifully curved roof. Also a very nice feature are the two additional small pull-out compartments for the candlesticks. Artfully brass fittings and a traditional hand-polished shellac finish finalize the sensational look of this over 250 year old, rare masterpiece of a late 18th century German baroque tabernacle.
