Description from the seller
Antique Louis XVI Inlaid Secretary in Fine Woods
Elegant Louis XVI-style secretary, produced in the early years of the 20th century, featuring refined marquetry in precious woods with rich decorative inlays in floral and neoclassical motifs.
The front is enriched by an elegant marquetry composition with vegetal motifs, garlands, and a central vase, executed with great artisanal precision and arranged in harmonious symmetry across the surface. The secretary has three large front drawers, also decorated with slender inlays in classical motifs and fitted with metal pulls.
The upper, fold-down door conceals an interior space organized with small side drawers and a central open compartment, ideal as a writing desk surface and for organizing documents and correspondence. The sides are enhanced by elegant panel marquetries with architectural motifs, while the tronco-piramidal (tapered pyramidal) legs give momentum and lightness to the whole.
The balanced proportions, the quality of the woods, and the fineness of the inlays render this piece of great elegance, perfect for studies, living rooms, or classical and refined environments.

Width: 102 cm
Depth: 42 cm
