French Louis Philippe Desk Writing Table Secret Drawers, 19th Century

About the Item

French 19th century Louis Philippe exotic wood desk, the top is recovered of coated fabric. This secretary can be all locked. When the desk part is closed, the three top drawers cannot be opened thanks to a clever locking system. To open the desk the front part folds forward and top slides back. This ingenious system provides access to the desk and its three additional interior drawers. The bottom three drawers lock, while the right-hand drawer contains compartments and an additional hiding place. In bourgeois homes, this ingenious system enabled important papers and sometimes money to be kept away from prying eyes. Table height: 31.50 in. (80 cm) Height between the floor and the belt of the desk: 21.26 in. (54 cm) Good condition, some signs of use (please see photos) Shipping: 59 / 1175 / 101 cm 48 kg.
