AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Secretary in the style of Carlo X, dating from 1860 to 1880, made in elegant walnut feather with a top in original Carrara white marble.
The facade is arranged with an upper drawer, a central fall-front, and three lower drawers. The walnut design is particularly harmonious, and the fall-front opens via the original, fully functional lock, revealing an interior made of poplar with a top covered in red leather. The internal arrangement includes five drawers plus a secret compartment accessible through a hidden mechanism at the back of the piece. The hinges operate precisely, and the overall structure is solid and well-preserved.
It presents only a lack of veneering on the left side, at the back beneath the marble, and slight signs of age consistent with its age.
Authentic and refined opera, ideal for collectors and prestigious classic settings, adaptable to modern environments thanks to its reduced footprint.

Seller's Story
I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was.
When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business.
The key principles are quality and love towards the customer.
