Art Deco Secretary Cabinet in Black Lacquer with Mirrored Interior, France 1930s
About the Item
This striking Art Deco secretary cabinet — crafted in France during the 1930s — is a quintessential example of the era’s refined glamour and design ingenuity. Finished in a luxurious high-gloss black lacquer reminiscent of grand pianos, the piece gleams with depth and sophistication. What truly sets it apart are the sculptural silver-toned star appliqués and compass rose escutcheons, which lend a celestial elegance and emphasize the streamlined geometry of the design.
At first glance, this elegant cabinet presents as a classic writing desk. But open the drop-front panel and a dazzling surprise is revealed: a fully mirrored interior, complete with glass shelving — perfectly suited for use as a glamorous home bar. The mirrors multiply light and sparkle, showcasing your finest glassware or spirits with theatrical flair. Below, a double-door cabinet offers additional concealed storage, making the piece as functional as it is beautiful.
A balance of dramatic contrasts — high-gloss black surfaces against crisp silver detailing — renders this piece incredibly versatile. Whether placed in an entryway, living room, study or dressing area, it becomes a sculptural anchor in any space. As a bar cabinet, console, or writing desk, this Art Deco secrétaire elevates both daily rituals and evening entertaining with a quiet sense of ceremony.
