About the Item

This impressive Empire style secretary from the year 1820 is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and aesthetic beauty. Hand-polished mahogany wood gives the secretary an elegant and luxurious look that is characteristic of the furniture art of the Empire period. The most notable feature of this secretary is the stunning marquetry that adorns its surface. Intarsia is an ancient technique where pieces of wood in different colors and patterns are inlaid into the main wood to create complex and beautiful decorations. This gives the secretary a unique and eye-catching appearance that catches the eye and inspires admiration. Measurements: H:144cm W:83.5cm D:40cm
