writing desk forming a secretary with a drop-down flap, in mahogany and veneer

Scriban desk forming a writing cabinet with a drop-down front, made of solid wood and veneer, opening at the front with two lower doors and a drop-down section revealing a writing space. The front is adorned with moulded panels featuring a curved design, topped with a concealed drawer in the belt, embellished with a raised diamond pattern. The slightly protruding uprights and the plinth base highlight the robustness and balance of the whole piece. The drop-down section opens to a light wood interior, including three drawers and a central niche. It reveals a writing surface covered in black leather (antique, showing signs of use), providing a generous workspace. The fittings, hinges, and lock entry are original. Beautiful warm patina, rich wood tones, and decorative grain particularly visible on the panels. French craftsmanship from the 19th century, in the spirit of high-quality port or regional furniture. Dimensions: Height: 95 cm. Width: 133 cm. Depth: 60 cm. A functional piece full of character, ideal as a writing desk or accent furniture in a classic or chic country interior.
