Antique Biedermeier secretary with a drop-down writing surface, a beautifully figured wooden surface, and numerous small drawers and secret compartments.

Particularly striking are the lively grain of the veneer, the dark writing surface, and the architecturally designed interior with the small middle compartment. The furniture appears imposing.

The piece was professionally restored about 10 years ago (hand shellac finish) and is currently in very good used condition. The carcass is probably softwood, yet very sturdy (photo). The wood veneer (walnut) is in a warm honey- to golden-brown and in very good condition. Only a small dent between two drawers. The main compartment and the writing surface are lockable. Original keys present.

The furniture can be viewed and picked up in Bochum. No shipping possible!

Antiker Biedermeier-Sekretär mit ausklappbarer Schreibplatte, schön gemaserter Holzoberfläche und zahlreichen kleinen Schubladen und Geheimfach.

Besonders auffällig sind die lebhafte Maserung des Furniers, die dunkle Schreibfläche und das architektonisch gestaltete Innenleben mit dem kleinen Mittelfach. Das Möbel wirkt repräsentativ.

Das Möbel wurde vor ca. 10 Jahren fachmännisch restauriert (Schelllackpolitur von Hand) und befindet sich derzeit in einem sehr guten gebrauchten Zustand. Der Corpus ist vermutlich aus Nadelholz, jedoch sehr stabil (Foto). Das Holzfurnier (Wallnuss) ist in einem warmen Honig- bis Goldbraun gehalten und in sehr gutem Zustand. Lediglich eine kleine Macke zwischen zwei Schubladen. Das Hauptfach sowie die Schreibplatte sind abschließbar. Original-Schlüssel vorhanden.

Das Möbel kann in Bochum besichtigt und abgeholt werden. Kein Versand möglich!
