18th Century Austrian Baroque Secretaire/ Bureau Cabinet, Nutwood, AT ca. 1770

About the Item

Remarkable 18th Century baroque secrétaire/ bureau cabinet elaborately handcrafted in the period around 1770 in Austria. As former part of the inventory of an old Upperaustrian castle, this incredible piece of baroque furniture was made with carefully selected veneer like nutwood, walnut, ash, maple and cherry which has been set up in a very unique design. The lower part, a fantastic looking, artfully curved chest of drawers provides three large drawers. The elegantly designed attached upper part impresses with seven drawers and a beautiful inlaid center door that houses another storage room divided into three compartments. Inside this you will find three bolts on each sidewall locking every drawer seperately. The fall front writing surface upholstered with red felt hides another four small drawers. Additionally two smaller drawers can be found on the outsides of this 18th century baroque cabinet. Beautiful brass fittings, the solid nutwood carvings at the top and a charming patina finalizes the exceptional look of this over 250 year old masterpiece of a baroque secretary/ tabernacle or bureau cabinet.

19th Century Biedermeier Nutwood Secretary Desk/ Secretaire, Austria ca. 1820/25
Located in Lichtenberg, AT
Splendid early 19th century Biedermeier secretaire/ secretary desk from the renowed period in Vienna/ Austria around 1820/25. A spectacular, early example of a Biedermeier secretary which has been venereed with finest mirror-matched nutwood, showing an extraordinary grain - just see how elegantly the grain pattern runs down from the top to the base without any visible interuption. This perfect sized Biedermeier secretaire impresses with its cambered worked doors, a drawer on the top and a fold-down writing surface. Influenced by the previous empire epoch, this superb, antique secretary is adorned by two beautifully worked full columns. When you fold down the lockable writing surface, the amazing designed interior opens up to the viewer´s eye: 9 small drawers and another large one on top, architecturally structured with ebonized column decoration and the still original mirror (unfortunately cracked - see picture#18) in the back. Artfully worked brass applications with lion heads finalize the spectacular look. Traditionally hand polished with ruby shellac, which gives the surface this lovely slight red brown tone, this breathtaking early Biedermeier secretary...
