Its harmonious architecture and noble materials make it an exceptional piece, ideal for a distinguished interior.
The upper part of the furniture opens with a drawer, while the lower part is made up of two leaves, providing access to a discreet but practical shelf.
In its center, a flap, covered in sumptuous red leather, unfolds to reveal a series of seven finely arranged drawers, six of which are identical, as well as compartmentalized shelves, perfect for organizing documents and precious objects.
The whole is enhanced by a Salernes breccia marble top which brings a touch of nobility and authenticity.
Finally, this piece of furniture rests on two small curved legs at the front, decorated with bronze sabots, giving the whole thing a graceful and balanced look.
A testament to the taste and artisanal know-how of the 18th century, this secretary is not only a functional piece of furniture, but a true work of art, combining beauty and utility with rare finesse.
