FAQs

A secretaire is a type of writing cabinet featuring a fold-down or sliding writing surface, often decorated with intricate wood veneer patterns known as marquetry, originating largely in France during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These pieces are typically constructed from a carcase of native timber such as oak or pine, veneered with exotic woods like kingwood, tulipwood, and mahogany, then adorned with hand-cut floral marquetry and finished with a marble top and gilt-bronze mounts.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hand-cut irregularities in the veneer inlay, the presence of traditional joinery like dovetails, hand-forged or cut screws, and natural ageing in the timber and marble.

Such a decorative statement piece serves well as a sophisticated focal point in a contemporary study or living room, contrasting cleanly against minimalist walls and modern neutral furnishings.

Preserve the finish by keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, and occasionally applying pure beeswax to nourish the antique wood.
