​Add a dramatic, Hollywood Regency-style statement to your space with this breathtaking two-piece Spanish Chinoiserie secretary desk. Crafted in Spain during the mid-20th century, this vintage cabinet beautifully blends an 18th-century Venetian Baroque silhouette with elaborate, hand-painted East Asian artistry.
​Design & Craftsmanship:
The desk features a striking cream/parchment lacquered finish adorned with meticulous, hand-painted scenes of traditional figures, lush landscapes, pagodas, birds, and floral elements. Elegant gold-leaf detailing accents the molded edges, highlighting its classic "double tombstone" arched pediment top.
​True to traditional Spanish craftsmanship, the piece features a seamless design with no exterior drawer handles or pulls. Instead, it utilizes authentic brass-lined keyholes, allowing the intricate artwork across the drawers to remain completely uninterrupted.
​Functionality & Storage:
This is a highly functional, two-piece unit (making transport much easier) that offers incredible storage:
​Top Cabinet: Double tombstone arched doors open to reveal generous shelving.
​Mid-Section: A pull-down slant-front door drops down to create a sturdy writing surface. The interior features an organizer’s dream with a contrasting white floral motif, 9 small internal drawers, and built-in mail slots/shelving.
​Lower Chest: Four wide, deep drawers for substantial hidden storage.
​Condition & Markings:
​Features the original "Made in Spain" export stamp on the back.
​The piece is in good, original vintage condition with minor wear consistent with age and gentle use, preserving its authentic character and charm. See less
