Empire drop-leaf secretary

Very elegant Secretaire à abattant veneered in mahogany feather and embellished with refined applications in gilded bronze with mercury. Interior in light-colored wood, French craftsmanship from the First Empire period.

The design of the front is framed by two beautiful tall columns with base and capital in finely chiseled gilded bronze and by a large drop-leaf (upper part) and two doors (lower part). It follows the typical scheme of this type of furniture created during the Napoleonic era which goes under the name of Secrètaire. The facies is clearly marked by the beautiful aesthetic rendering of the mahogany feather that embellishes the entire piece of furniture with luminous brilliance, also enhanced by the excellent restoration carried out by our team of restorers according to the traditional shellac and buffer procedure.
