Secrétaire - Wood, Metal - Davenport

Elegant and charming Davenport-style drop-front writing desk, a refined piece of writing furniture featuring a beautiful wooden structure in a warm mahogany tone, rich in decorative details and fitted with numerous compartments and drawers.

A particularly interesting piece thanks to its excellent interior organisation: opening the drop-front reveals a complete writing desk, with several small drawers, compartments and side storage spaces, ideal for keeping letters, documents, stationery and small items.

The central drop-front opens to create a practical writing surface. The lower section has two large drawers, while the sides feature additional vertical compartments with doors, as well as small side drawers. The structure is enhanced by shaped frames, mouldings, decorative handles and elegantly curved sides.

The upper section is also particularly distinctive, with a slightly curved profile and elegant flowing side details that give the piece an imposing and refined appearance.

A particularly interesting detail for collectors is the presence of 3 original keys, kept with the piece. The keys further enhance the authenticity and completeness of the item.

The wood has a pleasing, warm, aged patina, with normal signs of age that attest to the piece’s age and use. There are small scratches, abrasions, finish imperfections and some more noticeable marks on the edges and lower section, all visible in the photographs.
