Description from the seller
Secretary in Luigi XVI Style Fully Inlaid
Elegant secretary in Luigi XVI style, finely veneered and entirely inlaid, crafted with great artisanal mastery. The front is characterized by an important marquetry decoration with floral motifs, scrolls, and a central vase with a composition of flowers enclosed in an oval medallion, executed with precious wood essences in warm, contrasting tones.
The upper part features a linear drawer, also richly inlaid with stylized vegetal motifs. The flip-top writing surface, embellished with a refined geometric inlay with a central rosette, hides an interior organized with open compartments and small shaped shelves, in addition to a writing surface also inlaid, maintaining stylistic coherence and formal elegance.
The lower part consists of three wide drawers decorated with floral motifs in continuity with the rest of the piece, complete with metal knobs. The vertically grooved and inlaid uprights slender the structure, while the truncated pyramidal legs confer balance and refinement, typical of the Luigi XVI taste.
A piece with great aesthetic impact, ideal for classic environments, studies, or reception spaces, capable of combining functionality with high decorative value.

Any keys or accessories are not included, unless otherwise explicitly indicated in the photographs and in the article description.
The articles are presented in generally good condition, compatible with their age. The natural signs of time and use attest to the authenticity of the pieces and do not compromise their beauty, form, or structural integrity.
