Antique French Louis XIV Secretary ~ Bookcase is a splendid example of multi-function furniture! Serving as a chest of drawers, a writing desk, and a display bookcase all in one, it features solid oak construction from the arched bonnet to the four graceful cabriole legs. At top, multi-paned display allows quick access or opportunities for showing off a collection or heirlooms. Just below, a large slant-front opens to create a desktop surface, supported by pull outs, and revealing internal drawers and cubby holes. Just under the desk are two full-width drawers for added versatility. Carved detail from the bonnet to the cloven hoof feet includes shell and foliate motifs, accented by cast brass pulls and key guards for a rich effect. The entire design is barely a foot and a half deep, making it very traffic friendly in the room!
Circa early 1900s
Measures 75H x 37W x 18.5D; surface 30H (29D when desk is open)
