Biedermeier Faux Secretary Cabinet, Germany, circa 1820

Biedermeier faux secretary cabinet with a temple-like upper section featuring three doors, a central mirrored door, and flanking ebonized columns. Below is a front designed to resemble a secretary, with a suggested fall-front writing surface and four drawers. In fact, this section is a door opening on the right side. The cabinet is veneered in maple and has been restored and hand-polished.
