In the upper part, it has thirteen drawers, a door revealing a storage space whose interior is nicely inlaid and a shelf.

This secretary features magnificent marquetry and milling details. Geometric shapes elegantly decorate the facade and sides. It is dressed in pretty chiseled bronzes and topped with its period marble. Secretary restored and treated. Please contact me for delivery!
