These doors close with a key and an original lock with brass fillet entries. The interior is fitted with an adjustable shelf on a rack.
This cabinet has a beautiful flap with a mitered frame embellished with the same mouldings as the top pores. In the centre there is a horizontal wooden panel. This flap is closed by a key and an original lock with brass entry. Inside we find a tabernacle in solid cherry wood, with a large niche and drawers pulled out by brass knobs. A central drawer is equipped with an original key and lock in working order. On each side, two columns recall the empire style of this secretary. The flap is covered with a magnificent olive green leather decorated with golden vignette and a central empire motif.
At the bottom of the cabinet, three drawers of the same height open with a working key and an original lock with a brass filleted entry. A fourth drawer is hidden in the plinth.
On the sides, two magnificent empire columns are embellished at the top with a large finely chiselled bronze ring and at the bottom with a bronze collar. These columns rest on a rounded section ending in a turned foot.
Elegant and sober, this desk has many assets. In addition to the quality of its wood and the workmanship, it will delight you with the beautiful colour of its leather and its numerous storage spaces.
