About the Item

French Art Deco secretary Sycomore wood, black high-gloss lacquer nickel-plated fittings. Elegant secretaire made of solid sycamore wood with a high-quality finish. The secretaire stands on sabre legs with a slight outer curve. The body has the writing part and 3 drawers underneath, which are framed with a circumferential profile and a round profile rod made of nickel-plated metal. On the right and left are flanking, beveled columns that taper downwards elegantly to the legs. On the top plate is a small attachment with a right and left volute. The interior of the secretaire has a silk matt lacquer finish, which contrasts beautifully with the outer glossy surface. There is a drawer and 3 small glass compartments, the writing inlay has been relined with Hermes-colored leather. The coin key is compact and puristic, the drawers are interlocked and have additional grip holes below the handle strip. The top drawer has a brand stamp from the manufacturer. The object is refined in its lines and finishing details, the high-quality restoration makes the object a real gem. There is also a matching chair for the secretary which is offered separately. The chair is also made of Sycomore, refurbished in high-gloss black lacquer, newly upholstered and covered in Galuchat leather.
