Louis XVI Secretary Chest, Made Of Mahogany, 18th-century

18th-century Louis XVI mahogany writing desk

The top drawer conceals a drop-down panel revealing a writing desk fitted with a writing surface covered in antique leather, five small drawers, and a central compartment, offering storage space that is as practical as it is elegant.

The piece is adorned with fluted side panels, brass trim, and bronze pull handles, and rests on tapered legs topped with bronze feet. It is topped with a white marble slab surrounded by an openwork brass trim, adding an extra touch of refinement.

The locks are original and operate with a clover-shaped key, a detail highly sought after by collectors of antique furniture.

This elegant secretary chest perfectly exemplifies the understated and refined style of late 18th-century Louis XVI furniture. A high-quality piece, ideal for use in both a living room and an office.
