Small Secretary in Burl Mahogany Veneer, Early 19th Century

About This Piece

Vintage Design

This small secretary in mahogany burl veneer is topped with Belgian Sainte Anne gray marble. It has a high drawer equipped with a functional lock and key. Below, it consists of a flap with key, revealing a storage space with a niche and six small drawers of different capacities. They open with small, finely carved brass pull buttons and have a lemon wood interior. On the front, it is decorated with lemon tree nets forming a frame on each of the drawers. The flap is covered in original black leather, decorated with a central sticker, corner finials, a gold sticker and a cold sticker. In the lower part, this secretary has two doors opening onto three English-style drawers. Finally, a final drawer is hidden in the plinth of the furniture.
We will appreciate the ogee moldings framing the central part of the furniture, as well as the decorative bead garlands highlighting the veining of the mahogany burl.
The absence of a compass also makes this secretary unique since it is a system with lead weights, complex for the time, which allows the flap to close automatically as soon as its tipping point is reached. The quality of the materials used for the design of this secretary and its small size make it a rare piece of furniture.
