walnut
biedermeier around 1815
dimensions: h x w x d: 147 x 80 x 35 cm
exceptionally delicate biedermeier writing desk with fantastic patina.
a secretary standing on pointed legs with two doors at the bottom, the writing flap above and a wide drawer at the top.
we see a beautifully grained walnut veneer laid in perfect symmetry. The shellac polish enlivens the structure of the wood, emphasises light and dark contrasts in the grain and gives the wood a certain "depth".
the ebonised plinth and headboard, the check-shaped key plates and the striking strip between the doors stand in stark contrast to the warm colour of the wood.
behind the doors there is a large open compartment with a shelf. When the door is open, we can see the original old snap lock.
the interior behind the writing flap consists of a large open compartment with a round arch supported by pilasters. Above and below this are three small drawers in a row.
condition:
piece of furniture restored with patina preserved. The original old shellac polish has been preserved and refreshed. Traces of use and wear were deliberately preserved during conservation and give the secretary an unmistakable and very authentic character.
absolutely stable and suitable for everyday use.
the chair shown in one of the photos is for size comparison and is not included in the price. less
