Vintage secretary with compass legs

This 1950s secretary desk, renovated while preserving the charm of its oak wood, hides behind its slender silhouette and elegant tapered legs a true concentrate of practicality: a fold-down desk, shallow when closed, and numerous integrated storage options. Dimensions: Depth 41 cm (depth when open: 74 cm), Height 122 cm, Width 99 cm. Desk height: 79 cm. The secretary is protected with a colourless furniture oil, made from plant-based components, which gives this fold-down desk a natural and warm colour with a matte and silky feel to the touch. Inside, the back of the piece is painted white (natural and bio-sourced paint from the Colibri brand). This vintage piece is made of oak wood and oak veneer, the shelves are made of beech, and the knob and runners are made of brass. A solid and stable piece of furniture. The doors slide perfectly, and the drop-down works very well. The secretary has undergone careful renovation, and to preserve the authenticity of this antique piece, imperfections, irregularities, and signs of time have been retained. As a precaution, it has been treated against woodworm infestations using a natural product without harmful components. A piece from the mid-century era that is as elegant as it is ingenious, perfect for setting up a workspace even when space is limited.
