18th Century German Baroque Secretaire, Louis XV, Walnut, circa 1750

About the Item

Baroque top secretary with Fine marquetry Brunswick walnut etc. Baroque around 1750 Dimensions: H x W x D: 215 x 119 x 56 cm Description: Beautiful slender writing cabinet from the Lower Saxon Baroque period circa 1750-60. Two-part furniture corpus standing on so-called "claw on ball" feet. The lower part consists of three large drawers and the sloping flap above. Typical for the Brunswick design is that the drawers are quite curved, but the writing part is built straight on top of them and thus does not follow the shape of the base. Since there is no top here for the writing section to rest on, the work surface is supported by two extendable ledges. This is also typical for the area, some nice comparative types can be found at [Wolfgang Eller - Schreibmöbel von 1700-1850 ab S. 215]. Inside we find six smaller drawers and a large open compartment. The two-door top of the piece of furniture is discreetly curved towards the top. Behind the pediment there is a three-tiered pedestal for presenting pitchers, vases or similar. Also here we find six small internal drawers. The piece of furniture is veneered in walnut with banded ash woodwork and elaborate marquetry, some of which is figural. The hardware, though appearing silver in some photos due to the reflection of the flash when photographed, is bronze with some very nice preservation of the original gilding. Condition: Refurbished condition. The surface has been cleaned and polished with shellac. The locks work, the drawers run cleanly and smoothly. There are visible traces of old worm infestation, especially on the left side of the furniture and on the fronts of the lower drawers. Needless to say, there is no active infestation. Comparable objects can be found in the literature: Wolfgang Schwarze - Antike Deutsche Möbel p. 64 ff.
