Secretary Louis XVI Stamped Dester

Louis XVI secretary opening with a drawer in the upper part, a flap in the central part and two leaves in the lower part.

The flap discovers a theater made up of lockers and six drawers inlaid with flowers on a light wood background. The two leaves open onto a chest on the right and two drawers on the left, all in oak.

The drawer and the sides are decorated with a frieze of interlacing inside which are inserted quarter-leaves. The flap and the doors are decorated with a beautiful marquetry decorated with bouquets of flowers in maple and sycamore tinted in a tobacco background in a frame of double Greek friezes.

The sides are inlaid in the upper part and in the lower part with bouquets of flowers on a tobacco background in rosewood frames. The uprights surmounted by a chiseled and gilded bronze fall are cut sides decorated with simulated grooves.

Beautiful ornamentation of chiseled and gilded bronze, including offcuts, keyholes and apron.

White veined marble top.
