About the Item
1940s French Drop-Front Secretary – Goatskin Finish & Faux Leather Bookcase, Paris Provenance.
Elegant and functional, this 1940s French drop-front secretary combines mid-century modern sensibilities with classic Parisian refinement. Purchased in Paris, the piece features a striking goatskin-fronted writing surface that opens smoothly to reveal a thoughtfully arranged interior, perfect for correspondence, storage, or display.
The upper section includes a faux leather-lined bookcase, marrying utility with sophisticated texture. Recently restored with a high-gloss French polish, the exterior gleams with renewed life while retaining its vintage charm. This piece makes a strong statement in both contemporary and traditional interiors. An excellent example of post-war French design, balancing luxury, craftsmanship, and purpose.
