Secrétaire - Burrwood

Fall-front secretary with bookcase top, veneered in walnut burl with striking grain and a warm honey tone, accented with darker wood moldings and inlays.
The upper section is enclosed by two glass doors with arched tops, surmounted by a molded cornice with block details and flanked by pilasters with carved capitals; the doors retain their original lock, key, and tassel. Inside are two shelves for books and collectibles.
The central section features a fall-front writing surface, which opens onto two side stays to reveal a compartmented interior: a row of small arched pigeonholes at the top and two rows of small drawers with turned wooden knobs, as well as a writing surface covered in dark leather. Beneath the fall-front are two large hinged panels with a central lock and key with tassel.
The base is finished with a continuous molded plinth. The front edge of the writing surface and the sides are veneered in continuous burl, with a clearly visible book-matched effect.

Pickup in Rome is available.
