Small Secretary in Precious Wood, Louis XVI - XVIIIth

Rare Secretary in Amaranth and Rosewood dating from the 18th century.
This refined inlaid piece of furniture is topped with Pyrenean marble combining shades of gray and white. This thick marble has a groove around its edge and cut sides at the front.
This small piece of furniture has a large drawer at the top, a flap and two low doors. These sashes are all framed in miter cut amaranth and are decorated on the inside with rosewood with butterfly wing crimping. Lines of light and tinted wood, formed from Greek angles, highlight the contours.
The canted sides and blanks also benefit from precious wood marquetry panels. They are embellished with delicately chiseled Bronze medallions in the upper and lower part.
We also find a Bronze decoration on the lower crosspiece and original Bronze entrances with their added key. All in perfect working order.
Supported by two original compasses, the flap of this secretary is trimmed with red lambskin, with golden vignette at the corners and in the central part. The interior is sober as in the time of Louis XVI. It features a shelf, two lockers and four drawers in amaranth and rosewood, accompanied by the original brass pull knob.
The lower part of this furniture is made up of two doors revealing a large storage space with a large shelf.
Graceful and elegant, this 18th century secretary with ideal dimensions will delight you with the finesse of its ornamentation.
