About the Item

Antique cabinet secretary from the biedermeier period around 1845. Body in cherry, parts of the front and the wreath veneered in walnut. Handles and fittings made of brass in the shape of coat of arms. The secretary can be disassembled into three parts for transportation. At the bottom there is the three-drawer chest-like base. On it stands the secretary part with sloping flap. At the very top there is the two-door top. The interior consists of four drawers on the right side and a drawer-style door on the left. In the middle is an open compartment with a drawer on top. If you pull the drawer all the way out, a secret drawer opens behind it on the right. The secretary part is veneered on the top, so the piece of furniture can be placed without the display cabinet attachment, as shown in the photos. Dimensions with attachment: H x W x D: 190 x 107 x 55 cm Dimensions without attachment: H x W x D: 118 x 100 x 55 cm. Restored condition. All keys are present, the drawers run cleanly and smoothly, the surface is refurbished. There is a small chip on the trim of the lower left part of the top. This is well visible in one of the photos.
