This Neoclassical secretary desk from the early 19th century is a Secrétaire à Abattant in the classic French design: a fold-down writing surface, several drawers beneath it and a continuous front structure that uses bronze strips as dividing elements. The mahogany veneer is highly polished and shows a deep, almost black-looking surface. The marble top on the upper surface is darkly veined and provides a cool accent.
With a height of 145 cm, a width of 96 cm and a depth of 38 cm, this Neoclassical secretary desk is designed as a wall-mounted piece of furniture and requires little floor space. The bronze fittings on handles, locks and decorative strips are carefully crafted and in good condition. The writing surface folds out and offers a fully usable working area.
As a 19th-century secretary desk, this piece is suitable for the study or salon. In a Berlin old building apartment with high ceilings, it is a natural choice for those looking for a writing furniture that is also representative. French Neoclassical secretary desks of this quality with original mahogany veneer and bronze work are rarely found in this condition.
