French Louis XVI Mahogany Secretaire
Fabulous French Louis XVI Secretaire. Early 19th Century.
Mahogany with original marble top and finely crafted brass fittings and mouldings. The inner desk is fitted with two banks of smaller drawers and two larger above. The leather writing pad is a later replacement. It has beautiful patina, with lots of signs of age as shown, including marks to the marble and a repair to the front left corner. The top is quite high so the marble top surface is not easy to see unless you are tall.
Oak linings. The bottom cupboard is fitted with a shelf and drawer, drawer & cupboard lacking lock.
All drawers and fold down desk function well.
It measures 990mm wide x 405mm deep x 1625mm high. The desk height is 760mm.
The colour may be slightly different depending on your screen. All of our furniture is Antique or Vintage and has patina.
When we restore pieces we never take them back to raw as this lessens the integrity of a piece. Patina is the build up of little marks and scratches over the many years of the life of an antique, these give it a lovely warm overall appearance.
If there are any major marks or defects we will always point them out either in the description and or photos. If you need more photos just let us know. Inspections welcome. Pop into our shop.
