very exclusive secretary from the prussian north german biedermeier around 1815.

on the bottom of the furniture with two drawers at the bottom, above it the writing flap, another thrust over it and a hidden head thrust at the top.
the piece of furniture is veneered in excitingly graspated birch wood. Due to the various color changes within the wood and the associated interplay of the colors, we also speak of "flamed" birch.
the beautiful wood is supplemented by blackened strips and beautiful, fire -gowned bronze shells in beautiful quality.

the inside of the writing compartment is veneered in apple tree.
we see a stair -like staircase to a central door that is flanked by pilasters. Pagblades of different sizes and two large compartments with specialist divisions for letters and papers complete the secretary part.

looked at the piece of furniture from above, we see an old silencet. The secretary was therefore loaded onto the railroad at the "odertor" train station in breslau. The goal was probably berin. We find corresponding mramilies on the back wall.

in terms of craftsmanship, a piece of furniture manufactured in terms of craftsmanship. A true testimony of the high quality of the prussian furniture building in the early 19th century.
