Secretary with drop-down, signed Jean Laick, master cabinetmaker, cherry wood.

Description: Secretary with a curved "camelback" flap in solid cherry wood, signed by the workshop of Jean Laick, an art cabinetmaker from Dol-de-Bretagne. Curved front and sides, curved legs, flap opening to an interior composed of four small drawers and niches, two drawers at the bottom, patinated bronze handles in Rococo style. The Laick workshop (founded by Jean Laick, 1924-2020) is known for its traditionally inspired solid wood furniture, cabinetmaking joints (visible dovetails), and meticulous finishes — a signature sought after by enthusiasts, far from industrial style productions. "Jean Laick" stamp on the back of the furniture (photo provided). Dimensions: L 65 × D 51.5 × H 99 cm — compact size, ideal for an entryway, bedroom, or office. Condition: very good, original varnish well preserved, complete hardware (functional key). The leather on the flap shows natural wear (scratches, partial loss of the black surface, gold trim faded in places). Some light scratches on the top and sides. Small traces of old, dry insects are visible on the back (flexibility checked, healthy wood). This first-hand piece remains functional and very aesthetic. Check my other listings: the Coubertin desk and the library showcase complement this classic spirit well.
