19th-century painted secrétaire
Description:
Delightful small 19th-century secrétaire painted in shades of blue and gray.
When closed, the secrétaire appears to be a chest of drawers; in reality, the top three drawers are false, concealing and forming the secretary's drop-down writing surface, which opens to reveal an interior compartment with shelves of various shapes and sizes.
Beautiful patina and unusual dimensions: 77 x 44 cm, height 139 cm.
