19th Century French Gothic Walnut Secretary, Cabinet

About the Item

19th century French Gothic walnut secretary ~ Cabinet is a superlative example of the mastery of furniture making during the middle to late 1800s in France! Designed as a compact all-in-one adjunct to one's office, it features a gallery rail with pierce-carved trefoils on top, with intaglio flourishes for extra visual appeal. Below appears a drawer with matching trefoil relief, and below that the timeless Gothic style drop front panel which opens to reveal a leather top writing surface, castellated apron and a pair of interior drawers under an open shelf. At the bottom of the affair is a generously sized cabinet with Moorish arches and gold highlights in the fluting for a truly special effect. Intricately cast and chased brass hingeworks and keyguards provide the finishing touch, circa 1870s Measures 54.5 H x 26.5 W x 16 D.
