Beautifully crafted about 1900, a delicate French secretary or writing desk has original bronze mounts and gallery, it is artistically shaped and curved on every side.
The original polished finish on mahogany and fruitwood has wonderful warm antique patina and lots of character, there are mars, dings and repairs, see photos. There is saddle leather on the writing surface, and inside are tiny hand dovetailed drawers and a sliding lid to a compartment below. The key is a handle only.
Finished on all sides, this furniture harkens back to a day when a social desk was conveniently placed in every room, a note sent with a child or servant was the "phone call" of the era.
Measurements of this desk from France are 29" wide, 18" deep, 36" tall and the desk top is 29 1/2" tall.
