Description from the seller

Representative Baroque-secretary desk, made of solid walnut wood and elaborately decorated with floral brass inlays. The furniture impresses with its imposing architecture, the curved base, the fold-out writing surface, and the richly structured upper section with a central tabernacle compartment.

The interior layout offers numerous small drawers and compartments, typical for this elaborate furniture genre. The curved fronts, fine linear inlays, and floral metal ornaments give the secretary an elegant, representative appearance. Knobs and fittings are made of brass.

Particularly noteworthy are the broadlower drawer fronts, crafted from continuous solid walnut wood panels. The continuous grain displays the high-quality material choice and emphasizes the craftsmanship of the piece.

The rear side is also constructed in a sturdy frame-and-panel construction. The highly glossy polished surface beautifully brings out the lively grain of the walnut wood.

An exceptional one-off piece for collectors, lovers of antique living culture, and high-quality interiors.
