About the Item
1820’s Biedermeier Fall Top Desk in Cherry Veneer
The 1820’s Biedermeier fall top desk features stunning book-matched cherry veneer, adding warmth and sophistication. Its lower section consists of three spacious drawers, while the upper part includes a writing flap that opens to reveal a practical writing surface. Inside, the desk offers a thoughtfully designed interior, featuring multiple small drawers and an open compartment, all elegantly finished with birch veneer—perfect for organizing documents and essentials.
Above the writing flap is a generously sized drawer, providing additional storage. A hidden gem lies in the stepped gable, which cleverly conceals a secret drawer at its center. On either side, diagonal cherry veneer columns add a striking decorative touch, enhancing the desk’s architectural elegance.
Refinished to a high standard, the desk’s surface has been treated with a traditional shellac hand polish, ensuring a luxurious finish that preserves its antique charm. This Biedermeier secretary desk is in excellent condition and ready to enhance any interior with its functional beauty and historical significance.
The secretary desk will be shipped from Germany and includes international shipping costs and customs fees to Boston.
