Made of fine solid mahogany wood (accompanied by certificates required for export of this wood) light and characterized by an elegant linearity, two majestic lateral columns decorate the front and add grandeur. The upper surface is in fine dark gray marble that elegantly contrasts the color of the wood. Equipped with a long and narrow drawer in the upper part, while in the lower part two doors reveal a practical compartment and an additional internal drawer. The central part opens in the characteristic of all secretaires to reveal a leather-covered surface with a gold decoration in the center.

The internal central part is equipped with many small drawers ideal for storing small objects. The secret is constituted by the first long internal drawer that can only be opened using a hidden opening (see photo).
