Italian elm secretary with inlays, 1950s

Secretary with fall front, side compartments and three drawers, elm-veneered with inlaid brass stars. Italian production, 1950s. Secretary with the slender lines typical of 1950s Italian furniture: angled sides, tapered splayed legs and carved elongated leaf handles. At the centre, the lockable fall front, decorated with small inlaid brass stars, opens onto a writing surface with a glass shelf; two open compartments sit at the sides and three drawers below. The elm veneer, with book-matched drawer fronts, brings out the wavy grain of the wood. Key included. Good condition. It may show signs of age and use. Please pay close attention to the photographs.
