About the Item

Elegant Antique Ash Veneer Secretary Desk This exquisite original secretary desk, crafted in fine ash veneer, is a true testament to timeless elegance and expert craftsmanship. Its sophisticated design features a small top with a gable, flanked by delicate stepped details on either side, leading down to a drawer adorned with ornate fittings. At the heart of this remarkable piece lies a beautifully designed cabinet. The central drawer, crowned with a gable, sits above an open compartment inlaid with a striking checkerboard pattern, framed by refined black pilasters. Above, two letter compartments conceal discreet hidden compartments, while additional small drawers provide practical storage. Below, a wider compartment showcases intricate masonry inlays, adding to its distinctive charm. The writing surface is elegantly ebonised, offering both durability and contrast to the rich ash veneer grain displayed on the front. Inside, two doors reveal a lower shelf for additional storage. The entire piece is gracefully supported by sturdy block feet, ensuring both stability and refined aesthetic appeal. A perfect blend of functionality and antique beauty, this secretary desk is a sophisticated addition to any interior.

19th Century Biedermeier Nutwood Secretary Desk/ Secretaire, Austria ca. 1820/25
Located in Lichtenberg, AT
Splendid early 19th century Biedermeier secretaire/ secretary desk from the renowed period in Vienna/ Austria around 1820/25. A spectacular, early example of a Biedermeier secretary which has been venereed with finest mirror-matched nutwood, showing an extraordinary grain - just see how elegantly the grain pattern runs down from the top to the base without any visible interuption. This perfect sized Biedermeier secretaire impresses with its cambered worked doors, a drawer on the top and a fold-down writing surface. Influenced by the previous empire epoch, this superb, antique secretary is adorned by two beautifully worked full columns. When you fold down the lockable writing surface, the amazing designed interior opens up to the viewer´s eye: 9 small drawers and another large one on top, architecturally structured with ebonized column decoration and the still original mirror (unfortunately cracked - see picture#18) in the back. Artfully worked brass applications with lion heads finalize the spectacular look. Traditionally hand polished with ruby shellac, which gives the surface this lovely slight red brown tone, this breathtaking early Biedermeier secretary...
