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 skill. The front features a prominent marquetry decoration with floral motifs, scrolls and a central vase with a composition of flowers enclosed in an oval medallion, executed with precious wood veneers in warm tones with contrasting hues.
The upper section presents a linear drawer, also richly inlaid with stylized vegetal motifs. The lift-top desk, adorned with a refined geometric inlay with a central rosette, hides an interior organized with open compartments and small shaped shelves, in addition to an inlaid writing surface, 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 fluted and inlaid uprights slenderize the structure, while the truncated-pyramid legs provide balance and refinement, typical of the Luigi XVI taste.
A piece with great aesthetic impact, ideal for classical interiors, studies or reception spaces, capable of uniting practicality and high decorative value.
