Baroque Fall-Front Secretary with Marquetry Surface, 18th Century

Small Baroque fall-front secretary on elegantly curved S-shaped legs, featuring four drawers and a central cabinet door. The surfaces are finely decorated with marquetry in a contrasting combination of maple and walnut woods. The asymmetrical mounts are made of fire-gilded bronze. Behind the fall-front lies a stepped interior arrangement with small drawers, compartments, and a writing surface covered in brown leather with a gold-tooled border. The secretary has been professionally restored and hand-polished.
