This secretary with fall-front desk is crafted from French oak with beautifully book-matched figured mahogany veneer.

An ogee drawer is concealed in the cornice (beneath the marble top). Just below, the desktop opens to reveal a ginkgo patterned writing surface featuring Vera // Celestial wallpaper from Lauren Servati Textiles. Inside, there are six small drawers for storing your most prized possessions. You can use the original skeleton key and antique French lock to secure your belongings.

Below, open the pair of cabinet doors to reveal two shelves with additional storage space. This secretary features an original black Sainte Anne marble top, and rests on ball feet.

We think that this piece would make a lovely addition to a library or study, and would be equally well-suited as a correspondence desk in a bedroom or sitting room.
