About the Item
Beautiful upright secrétaire from the French Empire period. The desk is made of oak with burr walnut veneer, decorated with bronze ormolu elements. These are typical of the French Empire style. On top of a gray marble top, this originally belongs to the desk.
The interior of this desk is surprising and striking. On the inside is a mirror wall, supported by carved gilded pillars. There are also some secret compartments in the desk, which can only be opened with a certain mechanism.
At the bottom of the desk is a spacious storage space behind two doors.
The worktop is covered with red leather. At the top, under the marble, is an extendable shelf, which is also covered with red leather. The desk has 1 key, which fits on both the lid and the doors.
