Description from the seller
According to the written expert opinion of a well-known German antique dealer:
Secretary, origin Munich, circa 1810, lisene-shaped panels decorated with fine ink-wash drawings depicting stylized swans. Drawers are fitted with dark-stained birch veneers, framed by black veining and cherrywood veneer. Original pointed feet, with a pull-out work surface accessible from the interior that serves as a standing desk. The secretary has been meticulously and professionally restored by a renowned German restorer. 1-A condition. Perfect.
Very rare piece of furniture, which vividly demonstrates the transition from Classicism to the bourgeois Biedermeier style, and harmoniously combines stylistic elements of both periods. Absolute top condition.
