Louis XVI Period Secretary With Doors In Mahogany.

Secretary with doors from the Louis XVI period decorated with friezes of golden pearls.
Beautiful mahogany leaves veneered on the front and sides highlighted in each compartment with a frieze of pearls.
The flap opens without a compass onto 2 series of 3 drawers (one of which serves as a pencil box).
Each oak drawer is veneered with Mahogany and fitted with a brass ring.
The black leather of the flap, which is most likely the original one, has some gaps testifying to its age and use.
Closure is ensured by a 3-point lock equipped with its cloverleaf key.
The top of the secretary has a drawer highlighted with the same pearl decorations; It is equipped with a cloverleaf lock.
The secretary is topped with white Carrara marble, surrounded by a gilded bronze gallery on 3 of its sides.
At the bottom of the cabinet, 2 doors (closing with a cloverleaf lock) open onto an oak shelf which provides 2 compartments below.
The sides are structured into 3 compartments highlighted with friezes of golden pearls.
On the facade, 2 mahogany columns with rough grooves are topped with a scraper and end in spindle feet fitted with a ring and a shoe.
Same spindle base at the back of the furniture. We note 2 small slots in Mahogany on the upper compartment on the left and right sides (see photo) as well as a vertical slot at the bottom of the secretary.

Secretary with a sober and refined architectural balance, with very beautiful Mahogany veneer. Louis XVI period.
