Made of striped walnut and sycamore, it captivates with the precision and elegance of its geometric marquetry adorning the two drop-front panels, as well as with its subtly mirrored base.

Fitted with two interior compartments with drop-front doors, this piece was conceived as an elegant serving bar cabinet.

This work is a testament to the outstanding craftsmanship that characterises the finest creations of the De Coene workshops. Signed on the back, guaranteeing its authenticity, it perfectly embodies the excellence and refinement of Belgian Art Deco.

Entirely restored using traditional methods and hand-polished with shellac, this secretaire-bar is a rare piece, intended for the most discerning collectors and worthy of the most prestigious collections.

Founded in Kortrijk, Belgium, in the 19th century, De Coene Frères quickly became one of Europe’s leading names in luxury furniture. Renowned for exceptional craftsmanship and a spirit of innovation, the company collaborated with numerous designers and participated in major international exhibitions. During the 1920s and 1930s, De Coene emerged as a key player in the Art Deco movement, producing exquisitely refined furniture—often in limited series—blending precious materials with modernist lines. Today, the De Coene name remains synonymous with prestige, quality, and the heritage of Belgian design. This piece has an attribution mark,
