AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique Dutch 18th-century slant-front desk with rich interior, including a small cellar and secret compartments
Offered from a remarkable private collection: an authentic Dutch slant-front desk (belly cabinet) from the 18th century.
This desk comes from the parental home of the current owner. The parents were lifelong antique dealers, and this desk was a beloved part of their personal interior, where it held a prominent place in the living room for decades.
Interior & Secrets:
The piece features a beautifully detailed interior. In addition to the various drawers and mail compartments, it includes a central cabinet door and a clever little cellar, accessible via a sliding panel. The construction also contains several hidden compartments, characteristic of high-quality craftsmanship from the 18th century.
Condition:
The desk is in an honest, authentic state with a beautiful deep patina. As befits a piece of this age, there are signs of use and aging:
● There are a few small gaps/damages in the wood of the lid and around the fittings (see detail photos).
● The back panel shows natural movement/ cracks in the wood.
● There are currently no keys available.
● The copper fittings are very detailed and gracefully executed.
Specifications:
● Period: 19th century
● Style: Dutch Baroque / Louis XV
● Material: Oak
● Dimensions: 106 cm high, 105 cm wide, 58 cm deep
Delivery:
Due to size and fragility, collection only or delivery via Brenger.
