:
Very extraordinary little transformation furniture made of solid walnut.

When we are closed, we see an obviously three -way side table on curved legs and freely cut fruits.
On closer inspection, the two upper pegs turn out to be a sham drawer. Even the bottom drawer cannot be opened when closed.

The cover plate can be folded forward, results in a writing surface and gives the view freely on the writer's part hidden inside the piece of furniture. This in turn can now be pulled out, unlocks the bottom drawer and locks up at the top.

This results in a women's furniture that can be used as a desk or as a secretary. The working height of the writing surface is 73 cm.

Condition:
Conditioned condition. Absolutely usable and suitable for everyday use. See less
