This antique "secretaire an abattant" from France features an arched top bonnet over an upper recessed bookcase with elegant recessed panel front doors, a mid-section with drop-front writing desk, and lower case which houses six raised-panel drawers and a single carved-panel door with storage (three stacked down either side flanking the door, recessed within their center). The lower cabinet has a soft serpentine shape which carries through from the top lip and down the drawer-fronts. The cabinet is presented upon six bulb-carved feet. The fall front opens to accommodate a nicely sized writing surface (with original leather writing pad) with interior housing six organizational drawers and niche shelving at center. The sides continue with the decoratively-carved panels in varying shapes. This French Louis XVI period Secretarie cabinet, circa 1780, stands approximately 7.25 feet in height. less
