About the Item

19th-Century Biedermeier Secretary Date of Origin: 1825–1830, (Germany, Berlin) Material: Pyramid Mahogany This extraordinary 19th-century Secretary with an upper cabinet, crafted in the distinguished Biedermeier style, epitomises the delicate harmony of elegance and masterful craftsmanship. Veneered in rare pyramid mahogany of the finest quality, it captivates with its impeccable symmetry and visual finesse. The meticulously selected veneer, stretching seamlessly from the base to the very pinnacle of the piece, creates a breathtaking composition akin to a work of art. The lower section of the secretaire features a gracefully curved drawer front, imbuing the structure with a subtle sense of dynamism. Above this, two further drawers, flanked by imposing Corinthian columns, lend the piece an air of majestic grandeur. The architectural poise is crowned by the central fall-front, which conceals a true masterpiece—the cabinet interior. Opening the fall-front reveals an interior that is nothing short of sublime. The cabinet comprises twelve exquisitely crafted drawers, symmetrically arranged with five on each side. The uppermost drawer, an ornamental centrepiece, is adorned with an elegant balcony, supported by a colonnade, and features intricate parquetry reminiscent of the finest craftsmanship of the era. At the heart of the cabinet lies a central pair of doors, designed to mimic double panels, which open to reveal a spacious and practical compartment. Discreetly positioned to the right of the doors is a concealed mechanism—an ingenious secret button that activates a hidden drawer below the central compartment. The intarsia on the drawer fronts, adorned with refined motifs, underscores the piece’s unparalleled artistry and luxurious character. Above the fall-front resides an additional drawer, distinguished by its beautifully contoured front, which seamlessly transitions into the upper cabinet. The topmost section is architecturally striking, subtly tapering in a stepped fashion that enhances the overall silhouette. The cabinet doors, flanked by Corinthian columns mirroring those below, harmoniously complete the composition. This remarkable secretaire transcends mere functionality, standing as a testament to 19th-century artistry in furniture design. It seamlessly marries practicality with a refined aesthetic, offering a distinguished choice for collectors and connoisseurs seeking an utterly unique and impeccably crafted piece. A true heirloom, this secretaire will elevate any interior, bestowing it with an air of aristocratic sophistication. Condition: Very Good, Hand-polished with shellack, ready to use.
