About the Item

Exceptional Baroque tabernacle secretaire from the 18th century, circa 1750. The piece is divided into three sections: the upper part with a central door concealing six small drawers that can be locked simultaneously by a central mechanism – a typical feature of tabernacle secretaires. The middle section opens to form the writing surface, supported by sliding pulls on each side. The interior is finely veneered with fruitwoods such as cherry and plum, displaying warm contrasting tones. Below are three large drawers providing ample storage space. All locks are original, the brass fittings and keys authentically preserved. The exterior features richly grained walnut veneer with intricate marquetry in ebony and cherry. Carefully restored and hand-polished in our own workshop, this impressive piece showcases masterful 18th-century craftsmanship and timeless Baroque elegance.
