About the Item
This 19th-century secretary desk, also known as an escritoire, is a stunning piece crafted from exquisite burr veneer with rich grain patterns and a warm glow throughout. Reflecting Victorian elegance, it commands attention in any room. Inside, the desk features small, finely inlaid drawers, while the strong, heavy drop-down front provides a spacious and sturdy writing area, supported by a durable metal frame.
The cabinet is constructed in three parts—a top, a middle section with a door, and a base with legs—that can be disassembled without tools. Despite its age, the desk is in excellent condition, with only minor blemishes that do not affect its functionality or appeal.
