Description from the seller
Elegant antique drop-front desk / secretaire – late 19th century – with original writing surface.
Very stylish antique secretaire desk (secretary) from the late 19th century, crafted in warm-toned solid wood. This piece of furniture combines refined proportions with artisanal details and is both decorative and functional.

The interior is equipped with several small drawers and compartments, ideal for correspondence and documents.
Above the drop-front there are two drawers, and below the writing surface an extra drawer. The whole rests on a slim base with turned legs and a cross-stretcher, which gives the piece of furniture a light yet stately appearance.
3 keys included; the lid is lockable.
