19th Century Transforming Table, Ladies Desk, Secretaire, Walnut, France ca 1860
About the Item
Small antique secretary, lady's desk
France
Walnut
around 1860
Dimensions: H x W x D: 90 x 59 x 53 cm
Description:
Quite extraordinary small piece of transforming furniture made of solid walnut.
When closed, we see an obviously three-storey side table on curved legs and with a curved cut-out frame.
On closer inspection, the two upper drawers turn out to be dummy drawers. The bottom drawer also does not open when closed.
The top panel can be folded forwards to create a writing surface and reveal the writing part hidden inside the piece of furniture. This in turn can now be pulled out upwards, unlocking the bottom drawer and locking it in place at the top.
The result is a piece of women's furniture that can be used as a desk or a secretary. The working height of the writing surface is 73 cm.

- 19th Century Swedish Secretaire with Secret Compartement, Light Birch WoodLocated in Greven, DEAntique secretary with secret compartment Swedish birch second half 19th century Dimensions: H x W x D: 135 x 112 x 52 cm Description Piece of furniture standing on block feet with three drawers at the bottom, a writing flap above and another drawer at the very top. There is a small secret compartment in one of the front feet, which is clearly visible in one of the photos. The side runners of the top drawer are removable and also contain a secret compartment in each. Discreet flanking half columns of solid birch wood extend almost the entire height of the furniture front. In combination with the hollowed headboard, they give the furniture its special character. The grain of the flamed birch is reflected on the front, sides and cover plate. The discreet brass keyhole surrounds keep a low profile. The interior of the secretary consists of a central door, an open compartment underneath, and a total of 15 drawers of varying sizes. The compartment under the door is ideal for sliding in a laptop when work is done and closing the flap. The door itself is another highlight of the furniture with its rosewood edge, fine thread inlays and field of mirror ash. Behind the door is another small drawer. On the back wall of the secretary are old shipping labels from the port...Category
