Semainier Secretaire In Precious Wood, Louis XV Style, Napoleon III Period - Mid-19th Century

This breast-high piece of furniture in veneer marquetry representing small cubes is made of rosewood, rosewood and cedar burl. It has seven drawers, each of which is equipped with two mirrored handles, a bronze entry and a functional lock, all original. Two of them form a flap revealing a writing part. Once opened, we discover a niche with bronze scraps, above two small drawers inlaid with rosewood with light wood net and rosewood surround. A bronze handle allows the draw. The rosewood workspace is upholstered in current red leather with gold vignette and corner patterns. The top of this furniture with concave sides, in precious wood marquetry arranged in a herringbone pattern, is embellished with two brass rods with edges. Each corner is adorned with a bronze motif representing flowers. The quarter-round uprights are in horizontal rosewood veneer and trimmed with a fall at the top and bottom. The whole rests on an overflowing base, slightly bulbous, decorated in its center with a bronze, ending in small feet with bronze hooves. The back of the cabinet as well as the interiors of the drawers are in solid oak. The latter are also equipped with stops to protect against any fall. This bicentenary writing desk will take care of the decoration of your interior with charm.
