Antique showcase secretary in solid wood
Antique display secretary dating probably from the first half of the 20th century, combining a tall body with two glass doors housing shelves and a writing space with a drop-down front concealing small compartments. Made of solid wood with pronounced grain resembling oak, it stands out for its careful finishes, particularly its drop-down front with geometric patterns and its lovely old metal handles and fittings. Its curved legs and slender format make it a piece of furniture that is both refined and functional, ideal for a living room, office, or bedroom to showcase beautiful volumes while providing a discreet workspace. Condition: The furniture is healthy, sturdy, and perfectly functional, with the drop-down front opening and closing correctly, as well as the two large storage drawers at the bottom and the glass doors. The wood shows a beautiful warm patina of time, accompanied by a few superficial micro-scratches from use and very discreet marks consistent with its great age. These subtle traces of life testify to its authenticity and elegantly adorn this charming piece of furniture without compromising its overall sturdiness.
