This mahogany secretaire has an appealing and practical layout, with a carved pediment above a central fall-front writing compartment, flanked by open side sections and small drawe rs. The drop-front opens to reveal a leather-lined writing surface with pigeonholes inside, while below, there are two drawers over a double cupboard for larger storage. Floral carved detail to the crest and centre panel, along with the brass handles and warm mahogany colour, give the piece a neat period look. The previous finish has been carefully stripped, and multiple coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer have been applied, providing a durable long-lasting finish while also enhancing the richness of the mahogany grain. The piece shows the sort of light age and use that suits a furniture piece of this type, and the writing surface and interior have a nicely time-worn appearance that sits well with the overall feel of the item. This item is made from mahogany, with the exception of the backboard. This is a particularly useful piece for anyone looking for both storage and a proper writing compartment in one item. It offers the kind of character and practicality that makes it easy to place and easy to appreciate. [dimensions][w]125[/w][h]152[/h][d]44[/d][/dimensions] Show more
