Entirely hand crafted in the Biedermeier or Empire manner about 1860 in Scandinavia, this opulent but understated secretary desk has a marble top.
Inside, turning the shaped columns releases secret spring loaded drawers. The writing surface is natural saddle leather. Black and white marble has been polished and sealed to resist stains.
Matched flame grain mahogany is beautifully figured, the original finish is very well preserved with warm patina and remarkably little wear plus a few irregularities from age, see photos. Waxed and polished, only an occasional wipe with a soft dry cloth is needed to maintain its glowing luster.
Keys and locks still work, drawers have exquisite tiny hand cut dovetail joints on solid oak sides and chamfered bottoms.
This historic and functional European furniture measures 40" wide, 20" deep, 59" tall and the leather writing surface is 30" high.
