  • 19th C. French Empire Style Louis Philippe Period Secretaire Abattant
    Located in Forney, TX
    A Louis Philippe period (1830–1848) fruitwood secretaire abattant fall front desk. Born in France in the mid-19th century, hand-crafted of rich solid fruitwood with warm wood tones, subtle grain detail, and nicely aged mellow patina over the whole.
