About the Item

This fine French mahogany bronze mounted secretary desk with bookcase top exemplifies the elegance and craftsmanship of late 19th to early 20th century French furniture. Constructed in richly figured mahogany, the piece is beautifully enhanced with gilt bronze mounts, accenting its refined neoclassical form. The upper bookcase cabinet features a pair of glass-paneled doors framed with delicate gilt bronze beading, opening to reveal shelving for books or fine collectibles. Beneath, a series of small drawers provide additional storage, while the wide writing surface is finished with a cream marble top, adding both sophistication and durability. The lower section is fitted with a central drawer flanked by smaller drawers on each side, offering ample storage for writing materials and personal items. Bronze appliqués, including rosettes, wreaths, and classical motifs, adorn the corners and legs, underscoring the luxury of its design. Raised on tapered legs with gilt bronze feet, this desk-bookcase maintains a sense of proportion, grace, and timeless style. Perfect for a refined study, library, or formal interior, this secretary desk combines beauty and functionality, making it an ideal choice for collectors and admirers of fine French furniture.
