Small Weekly Secretary in Marquetry, Transition style Louis XV / Louis XVI

This charming little week secretary in mahogany and rosewood marquetry, made in the Transition style at the beginning of the 20th century, stands out for its elegance and the finesse of its execution. It is topped with a white Carrara marble top, delicately surrounded by an openwork brass gallery. At the top, the piece offers two drawers, each with a key and a functional lock. The lower part opens with a door revealing a storage space equipped with a shelf. In the center, a drop-down front unfolds to reveal a writing space lined with new red leather, enhanced with a gilded vignette and a central motif; this workspace is accompanied by an open niche with two small drawers adorned with bronze leaf-patterned pull rings. The marquetry uprights are embellished with superb original bronze mounts and extend to slightly curved legs, elegantly shod with bronze leaf-patterned caps as well. Finally, the lower crossbar completes the ensemble with a delicate decorative bronze gilding. Combining the timeless elegance of the Transition style with optimal functionality, this finely crafted week secretary is an ideal charismatic piece to enhance a classic or refined interior. ******** Period: Early 20th century.
