Description

19th c. Italian Walnut Secretary. A 19th‑century Italian walnut secretary is typically a burl‑walnut, drop‑front or slant‑front writing desk combining storage, marquetry, and sculptural woodworking. These pieces sit at the intersection of Italian Baroque revival, Louis XIV/Louis Philippe influence, and Biedermeier simplicity, depending on region and decade. Circa 1850. 46w x 23d x 91h
