AI-assisted summary

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 secretaire features a beautifully curved fall-front that, when opened, reveals an elegant writing area with an original green leather writing surface, finished with a classic gold embossing. 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.
