A refined 19th century French secrétaire ŕ abattant with book-matched mahogany curl veneer, original marble top, secret drawers, and a beautifully preserved writing interior
Why We Love This … This is a piece that rewards closer inspection. From the beautifully matched mahogany veneers to the survival of the original blue leather writing surface, it has a sense of quiet completeness and rare touch of authenticity. The inclusion of secret drawers adds a sense of intrigue, while the honest, gently worn condition gives it the warmth of a true country house piece rather than a showroom restoration piece.
It is, quite simply, truly fantastic looking and a wonderfully characterful cabinet.
