Description from the seller

Large-format tambour secretary box, made of varnished wood during the second half of the 20th century, conceived as a desk organizer with multiple compartments. Its design evokes the classic tambour or 'roll-top' desks, with an upper lid of curved slats that slides back, revealing an interior compartmented for correspondence, stationery, and office objects.

The top includes vertical divisions and side shelves, while at the base there is a pull-out drawer with five compartments of different sizes, designed to facilitate the organization of small tools. The metal pull handle and the dark finish with visible grain reinforce its functional and decorative character, typical of home-office furniture from the mid-20th century.

This piece combines traditional aesthetics with practical storage solutions, and although it does not correspond to a specific historical style, its solid construction and structured design make it an attractive object for workspaces with a vintage vibe or collections of utilitarian furniture.

Tracked shipping and careful packaging.
