Its upper is a marble of the Pyrenees predominantly salmon, cut in corbin beak on its periphery. Its front angles are rounded, as are the amounts marked by friezes which they overlook.
This secretary opens on a belt by a slaughter discovering a niche with a high song crossing, as well as three small drawers. The latter are embellished in the façades of lemon nets forming frames, inlays that will be found on the sides of this piece of furniture. The work area is covered with current red leather, embellished with a central sticker, angle florets and, in borders, golden friezes and on a hard background.
In addition, this piece of furniture is provided with four large drawers of identical size, a first above the writing table, the other three below.
The five openings in this pretty secretary have a cut -out bronze lock entrance and its respective current key. They display in the facades of delicate marquetries with various shades, essentially representing flowers, leaves and scrolls, made with finesse.
We will also appreciate on this secretary the worked bronze falls which garnish the ends of the amounts, as well as the plinth on which it rests. This is cut to form two rounded feet at the front, two narrower feet on the back.
The interior and back of the drawers are oak.
