About This Piece

Vintage Design

An exceptional Napoleon III secretary desk adorned with wood marquetry. The undulating front, simulating a seven-day drawer, showcases the wood leaves arranged in butterfly wings, framed by brass moldings edged in wood, creating a deep and refined contrast.

The ornamentation is complemented by finely chased bronze mounts: drops, moldings, ingots, keyhole escutcheons, and exquisitely crafted keys, which enhance the decorative and precious character of the piece.
The upper section opens with a drop-front fitted with a functional lock and its ornate key. The interior, made of speckled maple, features a large niche and four drawers inlaid with ebonized wood stringing and fitted with small pull knobs. The drop-front is covered in black leather adorned with a gilt vignette and a central motif, providing ample writing space.

The secretary desk features four large drawers with marquetry fronts, each fitted with a chased bronze keyhole escutcheon and an ornate key. It is surmounted by a curved wooden top, encircled by a molding. The uprights are embellished with bronze mounts at the top and bottom, and the base features a bronze mount in the center.

A work of art with spectacular charm, this Napoleon III secretary desk will bring a majestic presence and historical elegance to your interior, combining functionality with exceptional craftsmanship.
